PERSONAL QUOTES "Isn't Halle Berry the most beautiful woman? I have a film I'd like to be in her

with. I mean, I'd like to be with her in““I won't buy into the Hollywood thing... I want to be in good movies.”“I fight cynicism. It's too easy. It's really boring. It's much harder to be positive

and see the wonder of everything. Cynicism is a bunch of people who aren't as talented as other people, knocking them because they make them feel even more untalented.”

“It taught me a lesson which was an actor should not say, "I won't do that." Once you've agreed the script, you must be willing to go as far as it needs to go on set. With some directors, you do the scene and they say that it's fine, but you think to yourself, "Is that really enough? Is there not more?“

“...as an actor there's nothing better than a great moody moment to play with nothing to say. It's so much easier to do because you can really get inside your head.”
