It was a wonderful project to work on, and a very different character for me.

He's kind of this empty vessel of a character, ... His awkward sensibilities, his neuroses, I loved those things. . . .

I'll play a character who is getting married to a woman to avoid the draft. Ultimately they fall in love with each other, but at first it's only out of practicality.

I actually got a crush on Anne Heche when I worked with her on Huckleberry Finn. It didn't work out.

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.
