I have a lovely family who supports me and it's great.

There's this notion that in order to draw attention and to be considered for roles I want to be considered for, you need a certain amount of notoriety.

When you're an actor in grade school, high school, college, whatever, you start to realize what you're really good at, what you're kinda good at, what you're okay at, and you start to compartmentalize. But if you know yourself and what you're capable of, it's just a matter of opportunity.

I can tell you for sure: people who are at their peak right now will not sustain that. You can't. It's against the law of nature.

You need to tell the truth to the audience, or they will throw a brick through the TV. They'll turn you off.

In order to be an actor you really have to be one of those types of people who are risk-takers and have what is considered an actor's arrogance, which is not to say an arrogance in your personal life. But you have to be the type of person who wants the ball with seconds left in the game.

Actors are inherently self-centered.
