This character is antisocial.
How did you find something sympathetic about him?I found him sympathetic in my reading of it, so I just played him the way that I heard it - or read it.
How many times have you been asked about obsessive love recently?Hmm… 7,542 in the last two days. But it’s good.

And have you experienced obsessive love?
Yeah, I have, but never to this extent. I think what the movie is about is this fine line between love and obsession. I think that love, true love or whatever they call it, is just requited obsession. If you look at what you do when you’re first in love with someone, then it’s always pretty ridiculous and it is a little bit obsessive. I think everybody experiences some of that in their life, but not to the extent of the Alex character [played by Rose Byrne].
