On working with David Cronenberg:
"I think of Cronenberg like an engineer. He's very interested in engines and mechanics and how things function, so his work is kind of like that, too. A lot of the time, instead of doing full takes, he'll do, like, a 30-second wide and go, 'If you don't mind, I'm just gonna cut 'cause I know I'm not gonna use the rest of this.' We would do it in sections like that. At the beginning, I was thinking, Oh, man, I'm kind of used to running the whole scene. But then you learn new things and you're excited by that technique. You're learning all the time."
On taking time off from work:
"I just went off for two months traveling around Europe on a motorcycle and pretty much turned my phone off. I did 5,000 miles with my dad. We went through Holland, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Italy … and then I did Spain and France by myself."
On the movie that's allowed him to go the deepest:
"Probably Shame. I'd come off from four or five films back to back when I started Shame, so I was tired to begin with. Then I was really delving into this world as much as I could in the prep time leading up to the five-week shoot, and the focus while we were filming was really, really intense. I was going to some unusual places. So, yeah, I would have to say Shame was probably the deepest and the toughest."
On the process of selecting roles:
"I like characters that are flawed because we all are. When people break up in a script, you think, Oh, right, there must be tears shed here. But maybe the fact of the matter is that they're both laughing. People are complicated. Our behavior towards one another is strange. So I like opportunities to investigate that."
