"I love a scene without dialogue. When you first get a script – a blank page is a blank page, so you’re not really sure what that’s going to be. You know that’s going to come from the sensibility of your director, or whatever he’s going to allow you to do.

One of the most depressing things that I think can happen for an actor is when the material is incredibly coherent and elegant and you feel inspired by it. You don’t want to go through a series of hugely demonstrative gestures, particularly when you believe in the power of just thinking things onto the screen. I love that kind of cinema."
