I Don't Really Think About Roles -

I'm More The Sort Of Person Who Doesn't Like Hugging Strangers Because We Don't Know Each Other, So We Shouldn't.

I've Always Been Quite Careful About What I Wanted To Do. I've Just Never Wanted To Revisit Old Ground Or Do Something That's Easy. I Want To Do Something That I Would Look At And Go, "i Don't Know What To Do!" The Most Exciting Thing Is When You're A Bit Scared, So I'm Looking To Find Something That's Really Terrifying.

It Makes It Easier, If You Can't Do An American Accent. I Don't Know. It's Different. I Played A Character In Never Let Me Go Where The Script For My Character Was Very Sparse, And I Enjoyed It. With Never Let Me Go, I Had A Whole Book Written From My Character's Point Of View, So I Always Knew Where I Was. But, With Ryan [gosling], It Was Just Easy. He's Such A Brilliant Actor And He Is So Prepared. He Doesn't Have To Warm Himself Up To Be In A Scene. He's Just In It. It Draws You In, In A Way.

I Didn't Work For A Year After Wall Street. I Finished That In November, And Then It Was The Following October That I Did Drive, So I Took A Year Off. I Didn't Do Anything At All, Really. I Just Hung Around.

I've Always Said I Prefer Theater, But There's Only Ever Been One Play That I Really Loved Doing, And That Was The Seagull.
