“I’ve played heroes and antiheroes, and I thought Vincent was just a great character… very dynamic. I wanted to explore the character and get an understanding of him, particularly because he’s demonstrating some seriously antisocial behavior (laughs). One of the first things I try to do is find the character’s moral code because, whether you agree with them or not, people have their own moral codes. Vincent was hired to do a job and it would be a breach of his moral code not to do it. He’s an absolute professional. I looked at it from that point of view, getting into the character.”
