I learned to wrestle, I learned defensive fighting at a young age, because when someone hit me, I would throw up and fall down.

I am more alive in the theater than anywhere else, but what I take into the theater I get from the streets.

My weaknesses... I wish I could come up with something. I'd probably have the same pause if you asked me what my strengths are. Maybe they're the same thing.

It wasn't until I got older that I realized acting was something I could really do.

Responsibilities are relative. My responsibility is to a character in a script, to a part I'm playing.

It used to worry me what people said about me. I'm learning not to worry as much. Sometimes you feel critics are wrong all the time, but I don 't take objection to it, because that's the way it goes. They can be wrong, they can be right. They can be cruel, they can be kind.

My early career was a real rush of movies and stardom - it was almost overwhelming.
