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.

One of the ways that you reveal character is by getting a character into a situation and seeing what they do.

As an actor, there are so many different people to hide behind.

I hate it when characters know things but only reveal them when it's convenient to the story. I'd never do that. That's cheating.

The less you know about me, the easier it is to convince you that I am that character on screen.

Dramatically it's always more interesting to conceal rather than reveal things.

When you're hiding behind a character all the time, as soon as you have to be yourself, you feel kind of terrified.

Characters are often revealed by the ways they misapprehend others.

I think I may have become an actor to hide from myself. You can escape into a character.

Some people hide more than others, and it does intrigue me.
