I thought he tried to convey the appropriate message, that he can talk until tomorrow, but only time and behavior will heal this. I like that he said he had no big message.

I`m going to cry until I get another job. I want to do more movies. I feel like it`s a totally different skill set than there is to theater. It`s much more internal. I`m an extrovert, I like to gesticulate and talk loud and stuff, and the theater is easy for me. I can go up there and spread my legs and go, `Here I am`. Oh, don`t get that wrong.
