Look, being a good parent is not about creating a good kid. It’s about a good person. And that means you’ve got to let them do their own thing. But there’s the other part of you that goes, “I just want them to stay this big all the time. I want them to always want to cuddle me. I want them to non-stop just be going, ‘You’re the best dad.’ ‘I love you, daddy’.” You know? But you’ve got to let them go.

The Talks interview
I like the emotion. That’s what I do. When I first read a script and decide that there’s something in it that I can try, I like to remember that feeling – and that’s not about hanging out on the set and socializing. I can do that in my own time. I very much enjoy trying to put myself in other people’s shoes.
