I don't think actors should have to do anything but come in and act.

Interest in certain themes doesn't mandate a personal stake or personal experience of those themes. I've killed people in plays, but no one asks me what it's like to kill people.

A man tells his stories so many times that he becomes the stories. They live on after him, and in that way he becomes immortal.

I wish I could say that when I didn't agree with a director I defer to him, but I think sometimes I'm a little self-righteous.

I always end up taking people that are morally ambiguous.

I wish I had more of the hero gene, but I don't think I'd be very good at playing one.

You have to let go of stuff when you act for a while. You stay too attached to things that have worked or haven't worked, it kind of makes it harder for you to move forward. So I try to concentrate on the experience that I have and then let the public expression of it be its own deal.
