There's always the standard six people you can hire that have played all these villains in Hollywood. Instinctively, when they come on screen, you know what's going to happen. You don't know the story, but you know what they do.

If you're going to act and do this for a living, you want to play something that the audience didn't expect.

When I went to acting school, the kids that got the best grades were the kids that could cry on cue. But it didn't really translate into careers for any of them, because the external is the easy part.

I take anything other than 'you big pig!' as a compliment.

I don't think the goal is, 'How big a star did you ever become?' I think the goal is, 'Were you able to express yourself?'

The biggest waste of brainpower is to want to change something that's not changeable.

Relaxation is the absence of worry.
