I always try to find something or some way of delivering the lines or playing the scene that you wouldn't normally expect. And I know that sounds weird, because it's not like I surprise people with shocking performances. But in an interesting way... Just being real and as interesting as possible.

Some people ask who they are and expect their achievements to tell them. But the things we accomplish always leave a core of character unrevealed.
