What I believe will make my acting career successful going forward is hard work. I like to challenge myself. Then it's the people I meet and choosing the projects I want to work on correctly. There's a lot of characters I can play.

Acting is always going to be number one, but what I learned in film school, I want to make that happen too, so I'm going to actually start working on my own.

It is important to make your own stuff. Even if you are not an actor, it is important to not stop involving yourself as a creative person.

The wonderful thing about acting is that you can use all of your talents and interests in your work.

My ambition is to get better as an actor.

For me acting is a passion and an art, and always will only be that. I don't have any rules when it comes to acting. I'll do anything. But it depends on the script. Either I'll have passion for the project or I won't. It's got to fuel me.

In acting, you can't do things for the money. You've got to do a project because you like it.

I've always had a passion for acting, without really realising that that's what I should be doing.

It's really fun to go back and forth from acting projects to directing projects. You don't have as much responsibility when you're acting, but you have more fun. But then you miss having that responsibility, and so you go back and torture yourself and make a movie.

My background is really being a writer's actor - that seems to be the way I work best, bringing out the best of writing. There's a whole range of acting skills, and some people can be astonishing with very poor material. That's not me; my skill is essentially unlocking the writing.
