I've gotten pretty good at leaving characters on the set. I go home and try to relax and regroup and be ready for the next day.
When I look at a character, whether he's good or bad, one scene or 10 scenes, I just have to find my way in.
The more intelligent the storytelling becomes and the deeper the character development, people will realize in film and television, like they do in real life, that human beings possess both good and bad.
Nixon represents that dark, venal and incurably violent side of the American character almost every other country in the world has learned to fear and despise.
I express things through characters because I have a fear that my own voice is irritating because that's been said to me.
If you play a real character who's famous and still alive, it makes things easier if you have the luck to have a good relationship with them.
I wasn't a kid who moved out from Iowa with aspirations of becoming a famous star - I was intrigued by the idea of filmmaking and by the idea of what it would be like to play a character in a movie.

I had to audition for the part of Jnior, and I wanted the role terribly because I knew it was a great character. This guy is a wonderful, funny, mean old guy.
Being funny with a funny voice is more my comfort zone, a broader character that I try to humanize, a kind of silly or wacky persona that I try to fill in.

Leadership to me means duty, honor, country. It means character, and it means listening from time to time.
