The Biggest Surprise In A Man's Life

I Want To Play A Man In Uniform. I've Got Tremendous Respect For That Life That They Lead. We Know So Little About It. It's Never Discussed Or Talked About, When They Come Back From Battle. I Want To Examine The Choices That Have To Be Made In Those Terrible Times. [...] I'll Get To Wear A Uniform.

My Line-learning Is Very Special. I Like To Learn The Dialogue Of The Whole Film Before I Arrive.

I Think I'm More Bonded, Emotionally And In A Craft Sense, To Films That Tell Extraordinary Stories About Extraordinary Destinies.

Hopefully, As I Get Older In The Business, I Make My Choices More Accurately, And I Perhaps Know From Either The Script Or The First Meeting That It Isn't Going To Work.

If The Director Wishes To Print It, Then You Have A Series Of Choices, Maybe Millions Of Choices Within That Minute-and-a-half, Or 80 Seconds, Or 2 Minutes Or However Long Or Short The Take Is, You Have All Those Choices Committed To Celluloid. I Find That Absolutely Thrilling.
