I'm a technician. I don't go for the get-into-the-role stuff. I read the lines and play the scenes.

Acting just happens to be my skill, but I think I would probably be just as happy being a technician or entering into the film business in some other way.

The movie worked because people believed in her heroism. I won't play her with negative attributes she'd never have.

I don't like the outside world to intrude when I'm making a film. I like to either see my family or work, but I don't like to go out.

Any actor working a long time should know how a shot is set up, where to place themselves, how to handle the lines. I'm a member of the crew, like the best boy, the electrician. What I'm good at is making eyes at the camera.

If I make two movies my entire life, and they're two movies that - whether they make a lot of money or two people go to see them - they speak of me, then I consider them incredibly successful. I don't need to be Steven Spielberg.
