I don't try to make actors play crazy characters. I like where there's a certain element of who they are and truth to their performances.

I think there are a lot of actors who are excellent at cold reads, and they go to an audition, and they read the part and nail it, but then when it comes to the performance, they don't have something.

For me, the whole idea of performance is not being self-aware, and then sort of just experiencing.

People seem to read so much more nonfiction than fiction, and so it always gives me great pleasure to introduce a friend or family member to a novel I believe they'll cherish but might not otherwise have thought to pick up and read.
