I often stop when I’m doing something, in the middle of rehearsals or some other job, and I try to take a minute to think “Okay, this might be as good as it gets, so drink it in, appreciate it now”. So far, I’ve been lucky because another job has always come along to equal the last.

I think it would be self-indulgent to go, “Oh, I’m going to make this character different by giving him a quirk of some kind.” I don’t think that serves the story, particularly. But even very similar scenes with a different set of actors, a different set of circumstances, it starts to evolve as a different character.

There’s a morality… I think there’s a moral compass but whether that comes from religion or just from being a good person, and where one starts and the other begins… I’m a good person, I hope. But I’m never as good as I want to be, never as nice as I want to be, never as generous as I want to be.
