I don't know that I necessarily feel more comfortable in the context of smaller films, but I tend to feel more comfortable more often than not with the material of smaller films,

It was kind of unique and great to have two films coming out within a week. It certainly was a different experience for me,

I came out in the first half, and I didn't necessarily feel comfortable. At halftime, all the guys on the team were telling me, 'We need you. We need you.' I just tried to step up myself.

...What I like does tend to be left-field. I feel somehow much more comfortable playing it. I relate more easily than I do when I run across straight roles. I hate the obvious stuff, I just don't respond to it.

It's fantastic, are you kidding? To sort of be part of this project from the ground up, from the script form, and then for it to kind of do as well as it did in the States in the festivals, and come here; it's fantastic, it's wonderful.

I do think there was an active choice to do something small, as simple as it may sound, just so I didn't have to work on something for 16 months. The idea of two months, nice and contained, just about character, and no time in makeup was a thrill to me.
