Any Actor Who Tells You That He

Action Breeds Inspiration More Than Inspiration Breeds Action.

Basically, When I Hear The Words 'family Drama' I Run In The Opposite Direction.

I'm Learning In My Old Age That The Only Thing You Can Do To Keep Your Sanity Is To Stay In The Moment.

I'm More Interested In Talking About What I Do. And I Don't Think People Are Interested In My Personal Life. I've Never Had A Hollywood Life. I've Always Been A Worker. But It's True: If You Know Something About A Person Outside Of The Movie That Is Really Repulsive To You, It's Hard To Shake. So I Prefer To Do My Speaking Through The Work. I Don't Want People To Know Anything About Me, Because That's Not Important. I'm More Interested In The Me That Takes Shape Through These Characters. The Other Stuff Is Personal And Too Easy To Trivialize Out Of Context.

If You Know What It Is Before You Even Start, It's Not As Interesting. Central To Being An Actor Is Pretending, And The Adventure Of It All. That's Why You Become A Junkie For Different Kinds Of Situations. I Try To Attach Myself To People Who Really Inspire Me, And Directors Who Are Really Passionate. That Way, I Can Give Myself More Fully And Trust The Impulse Behind Why The Film Is Being Made, And I Can Be A Little More Irresponsible In Finding Out What The Character Is. I Have To Worry Less About What The Character Means If I Trust The Director.
