Making the choice to cast someone in a lead role is a big one. You don't want to squander your opportunity.

I look to challenge myself with a character that's not like myself or anything I've done before, but I certainly don't reject roles based on how often I've done them.

I am very conscious about picking my roles and make sure that they are different.

There are times when I don't take roles because I don't want to be perceived a certain way.

I choose roles that are not me.

It would drive me crazy if I picked roles with the goal of being a leading man. You never know what you're getting into when you sign onto a project, and more times than not, the characters that are close to the leading man are more interesting and more fun to play.

I've always chosen incredibly different roles and things that are quite offbeat. That way you're not limited.

I accept a role only if it's something I really, really like.

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