As An Actor I Think Youre Always Going To Ride A Fine Line Between Doing Something Because You Believe Its The Right Thing To Do, And Guessing What The Public Wants To See. For Politicians It Must Be The Same, If Not More So. You Have To Be Quite Vigilant With Yourself And Question Why Youre Doing Certain Things As Well As Whats Behind All That. Because Otherwise, You Can Find Yourself Having Made Choices For The Wrong Reasons. And Suddenly Youre A Completely Different Person Than The One You Thought You Were A Year Earlier.

Ive never met anyone normal. Normal people, people who arent actors, are the most bizarre people you can ever come across. Ill talk to someone and come away thinking, they are clinically insane. The only way I can put that into what I do is by playing very extreme characters.
