“I share with Callas a certain loneliness that comes from being a dedicated worker,” the Oscar-winning actors said. The 49-year-old actor emphasized the similarities between his life and Callas’s, saying, “I can do a lot of things, but I’m very hard-working, right?” This acknowledgment of a shared work ethic highlights the intensity and commitment both women bring to their respective crafts.

The actor elaborated on the emotional importance of the role, saying, “I don’t want to talk about it too much because it’s very personal, but there’s definitely a loneliness and work ethic to it.”

He reflected on the idea that both he and Callas might see themselves as artists primarily dedicated to their work, saying that they were “probably too hard on themselves”, according to People magazine.
