You have to be careful so you don’t make your character dull and predictable. Sometimes you have to bend the script a little… The bad guys are mostly the same on the paper… A bad guy wouldn’t think of himself as bad. The guy I’m playing in Metro (1997) thinks of himself as a responsible and nice guy, since he is taking care of his retarded cousin. That is what I try to keep in mind, when I’m shooting and stabbing people.

[about his working relationship with Anthony Hopkins on Hitchcock (2012) ] He’s been just a remarkable human being and I think, once again in my experience, that the remarkably talented are also… it’s because they are remarkable people.
