When I’m on location and they’re back at the hotel, if I’m in my trailer, I try to sleep because my daughter doesn’t let me sleep in the hotel — which actually [director] Paul Greengrass said about halfway through filming it was really helping the characterization of Bourne that I wasn’t sleeping at all because I looked really haggard and I was in some kind of existential pain. And it was in fact just lack of sleep.
