There's a familiarity that sometimes shocks and annoys the hell out of me. People want a relationship with you that they haven't earned.

I'm an actor. My life as an actor depends on who sends me what. I'm just taking the best stuff that I can find that's sent my way, regardless of how big or little the paycheck is. I don't want to work for scale anymore. I'm at a point now where, no matter how good something is, I'm not going to kill myself and end up in the hole.

If I'm doing a fake movie, it's gonna be a fake hit.

I know that if I can't move people, then I have no business being an actor.

For many years my acting came from a place of surmounting some enormous obstacle, confronting some stern and faceless judge who would condemn me to a pit of hell if I didn't achieve the "zone," if even for a moment. Not a particularly happy place to work from.

Every physicist knows that things connect with each other. To isolate things is not the way the universe works - winning best actor is arbitrary.
