“When I’m on set with guys like Gary (Oldman), who I really admire, I’m pumping him for information all the time. I asked him, ‘What was it like on Sid & Nancy, how did you do that part, what were you thinking when you did that, or what would you do here?’ … When Heath (Ledger) and I were doing our stuff, I’d look at him and think, ‘What’s he doing, how’s he ramping up for that? What’s he thinking?’ I always look at people to see how they practice their craft.”
