I think part of the fun of being an actor is getting to work with different directors and seeing their take on it, what they're passionate about. They all have different ideas about your character.

As far as I'm concerned... there's a side to an actor that wants to go on and play a thousand different roles.

I think a lot of actors take on fun roles and then they're lazy or flippant with them. I just can't do that.

As an actor, it's up to you to show that you can do something else. For me, the interesting actors don't always go where you expect to find them.

I think every actor wants to try out different things.

Theater actors like to change character roles. They don't like to always do the same thing.

I admire actors that consistently challenge themselves and play a wide range of different roles. Every actor has a reason for being an actor... it's boring to play the same person over and over again. People like Daniel Day Lewis, who completely transform time and time again, I look up to.

It's like playing tennis, you play a different rally with different people. Every actor is different and the chemistry between actors is different.

The truth is, good actors are always looking to do something different. They are dying to play slightly odder characters or work on movies that aren't straight down the middle.

I think acting is a fun thing because you get to have so many lifetimes in one lifetime, being all these different people.
