Acting can be very selfish and all-consuming.

Well, I've never been in a touring rock band, it was all just high school and college, playing toga parties in frat houses.

Producing is the antidote to acting. Producing is practical problem solving all day long. As opposed to endless self-obsession and navel gazing.

I've often gone to start a film only to find the producers surprised to discover that I'm American.

Anybody who is in freelance work, especially artistically, knows that it comes with all the insecurity and the ups and downs. It's a really frightening life .

I love costumes. I love getting dressed up because it really helps my imagination make the leap to believe that I am who I say I am.

You have to be in movies that make money to be offered work. Basically that's the equation. There's no real way around that. That said, you don't ever make decisions solely for that reason.
