"It's what people feel comfortable liking, and I think all actors simplify as they go on. You get to where you get less mannered, but at the same time, reality could be a trap as an actor, too. In other words, I wouldn't like to be an actor if I could only be real. I like to get wild, behaviorally wild, and it's crazy to think of any form where it's just one way. You know, there are a lot of different forms of movies, but the criteria always seem to be bound. But in the end, we say to ourselves, "If it works, that's it." If I suddenly start talking in a Japanese accent in the middle of a scene, if it works, that's fine. If it doesn't, it's no good. But no matter how unbelievable the circumstances, you always come at it the same way."April 15, 2007
