I like to hide behind the characters I play. Despite the public perception, I am a very private person who has a hard time with the fame thing.

Obviously you try to keep as much of your private life as private as you can.

My life and my work are very interlocked. That's partly why I like to keep my private life private.

Since I think I am very boring in normal life, I tend to hide behind all these exciting characters, making people believe that I am someone else entirely. That feeling is very powerful.

I try to keep my private life kind of private.

I'm not intensely private - I talk a great deal about my life and my work - I just don't play the game to excess.

But on the other hand I believe I'm a private person too, and I enjoy that aspect of my life as well.

I like to keep most of my private life private.

I enjoy being a character actor; I enjoy being different in everything. I want a private life; I want to be able to go to 7-11 and not get into a fight with a guy because he saw me in a movie, or not have people hitting on me simply because they saw me in a movie.
