[Flickering Myth Interview 2014, on David Lynch's lasting impression] I saw Blue Velvet when I was around 13, probably a bit too young to be watching such a movie. I felt absolutely mesmerised; it was so different, beautiful, mysterious and twisted. The weird story from finding that severed ear in the grass to the wonderful night club scenes and of course Dennis Hopper's psychotic villain. The music, the cinematography, the storytelling, the visuals and surrealism - everything Lynch did with that movie. The scene with Dean Stockwell mouthing the words to Roy Orbison's In Dreams into that work light and then Dennis Hopper's exploding psychotic rage is still so haunting. Lynch described Kyle MacLachlan as 'the boy next door, if that boy spent lots of time alone in the basement' which I thought also applied to me in a way and maybe that's why I am still more drawn to darker and gritty material.

[Flickering Myth Interview 2014, on inspiration] I have always been fascinated by the human mind, psychology and different personalities. I love character work, complex and unconventional stuff. I think that's why I chose to become an actor in the first place - to live many lives.

I was stunned by the actors' performances and Lynch's vision, and ever since I knew that I wanted to work in film. It was some sort of powerful and overwhelming feeling cause I had never seen anything like that before. I know that I was way to young to be seeing such a movie back then but Lynch's description of Kyle MacLachlan "The boy next door, if that boy spent lots of time alone in the basement" also perfectly applied to me and maybe that's why I am still more drawn to darker and gritty material.

[movieScope Magazine September 2008, on what kind of roles attract him] I'm usually drawn to darker, grittier material. I'm attracted by broken people, tormented characters and lost souls. I usually find myself playing the "guys with sad eyes". Instead of going to a shrink you can let that all out in front of the camera and still hide behind the name of your...

I usually find myself playing the "guys with sad eyes". Instead of going to a shrink you can let that all out in front of the camera and still hide behind the name of your character. A dream for me would be portraying Nikola Tesla, the Serbian inventor.
