It sounds maybe a little old fashioned, but the parts I want to play and I do play, you don't want to inject too much of your own personality. What you sacrifice then is a slight mystery.

It's very difficult to make comedy work; I think it's a very underrated genre.

The goal is always just trying to stretch yourself as an actor.

If one story becomes too hot, then you can't forget it. As an actor, you want to remain fluid.

Find out who you are and try not to be afraid of it.

I'm not a big guy for research. You've got to take a risk.

I don't like it when people ask actors to work for free - on the fringe - as if it's some kind of virtue. That annoys me - actors should be paid well.
