When you're working with really good actors, it raises your own game and you get better.

When I'm playing a serial killer, I'm in it. I'm not judging him. I'm not judging his environment. I'm just looking for the why. Why is he the way he is? But, there's no doubt that, if you're a good actor, you're going to take this stuff home with you.

I don't put much thought or weight into the name, or the name change, or what it is, or what does it mean? It's just a nickname.
