Every role I do is a dream role for me because I can't imagine I'm doing it.

I've been quite lucky in that I've managed to tick off a few of my dream roles, really. Beyond that, you wait for the next script to come in that will have the dream role that you don't know exists yet, I suppose.

As for dream roles, they usually just speak to you. I just crave complex characters.

I've done a handful of great roles.

I have always chosen roles that I believed in - not ones that I thought might further my career.

I've been very lucky not to have turned down too many roles that I've later regretted.

Ninety percent of my roles, I've had to fight for. It's only a really small percentage of people who get handed roles.

There's this misconception that I've been turning down roles. It's just not true. The reality is, there was nothing for me to do, nobody was calling, the phone wasn't ringing.

You never get the role you have worked so hard for, but the dream role, the one who gives you joy, money and maybe even honor, that one just falls into your lap.

My goal is to just keep playing roles that are different from the roles I've played before.
