I love swimming in the darker seas, so even if I play a noble guy (well, like Lincoln for instance) I am pre-disposed to try and show the conflict; the regret; the less-than-perfect choices that any human faces. That's what I like and it seems to be what the camera likes to see me do.

Abraham Lincoln is the guy who could never be elected today, but whom we desperately wish we could elect.

All you have to do to be a camera actor is tell the truth.

Take every job. Learn everybody's name. Show up early. Know who you are and know who you're not. Stop dreaming and start trying.

Abraham Lincoln was a melancholy man, so he had a dark side that appeals to horror fans.
