[on his acting preparation] I’m not really a guy who draws on things from my own past. I think if you’re a competent actor with a good imagination, and if it’s on the page, it makes your job a lot easier. If it’s well written, it allows your imagination to run wild and draw inspiration from that. I’m not one of those people who writes a biography or tries to figure out what kind of ice cream the character liked when he was 10. If your attention is on something like that, I just think it’s a bit of a wank. If your attention is on superfluous aspects that are not part of the story, then you can’t be concentrating on the human realities of the piece.

[1999] My favorite place in the whole world is Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The whole experience in Wyoming is just fantastic. It’s renewing. In the winter we will go skiing, and during the summer there’s golf, there’s Yellowstone, there’s just whatever. It’s the best place in the world.
