The world isn't what you think it is.

In some ways, what I learned is that you can take a character and breathe with them, and its up to the audience to interpret rather than you putting moral stamp on the character.

On the last day of every character I've ever played, I lay the clothes out on the floor with the shoes and socks, so that it looks like the character has literally vanished. That's the way you have to leave them.

You mortgage yourself sometimes. You know what you want to do, then you balance it against paying the rent.

An actor always wants to sink his teeth into something.

As an actor, often you're stuck with these scenes in which a great period of time is in between them - for example, if you do a biopic, it might be a year, it might be a decade, you never know.

I've never bought a boxed set DVD or anything like that.
