I think I've spent more time in front of a camera than off camera. That's just the way it is.

I'm sticking my tongue out in scenes to try to make that work in 3D. I'm thinking I'll try to get my tongue all the way out to the second row of the audience.

I got into film acting because I wanted to be James Dean. We lost him at a very young age - he was only 24 - but I'm in my fifthies, so there's only so many times you can act like James Dean. I had to find new ways of expressing myself that kept me fascinated with film performance.

Science fiction is a way that I can go into the abstract, go into the imagination, and audiences are still willing to go along for the ride.
