I think the thing that I always try to do - because it piques my interest - is to play really different parts all the time.

There's a chunk of myself in every part I play.

I'm disappearing, avoiding most things.

I think one of the coolest things you can do is disappear for a while, because it gives you the chance to re-emerge. To sort of pounce out of the jungle.

It's always been fun for me to play a variety of parts, and over the years, I've been lucky with the things I've been asked to do.

When I act, a part of me goes into the character I am playing.

I can disappear into things very easily. But with acting, you have to be in the moment, and it gives me this incredibly fulfilling emotion: being really present.

I like to disappear into a role. I equate the success of it with a feeling of being chemically changed. That's the only way I can express it.

And when I play they know I exist, and it leaves a space when I go.

Who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.
