I tried acting, liked it, and stuck with it. I saw it as the way I would keep that promise to myself of getting back at those who had made my school life a misery.

The art of acting is not to act. Once you show them more, what you show them, in fact is bad acting.

Relish everything that's inside of you, the imperfections, the darkness, the richness and light and everything. And that makes for a full life.

Once you begin to fall off the track and believe you breathe different air to everyone else, you're doomed; you're finished.

Well, everyone likes movies when they're a little kid.

The reward is in the doing of it.

I have no illusions about my position in this world as an actor or anything like that. I'm very realistic. Reality is a very liberating thing.
