When actors first come up, you're auditioning for everything - you're trying to sniff it out like a pig with a truffle and you would do anything!

It's cyclical. I'm riding a wave right now, and I recognize that. I wanna do as much work as I can, do the best I can. And when it's all said and done and they say, "Get outta the water, you're done," I wanna be so exhausted that I look forward to it.

The hardest work that actors have done, including myself, is on poorly written scripts. And when you first start out you do anything. I did a lot of crap. I did more crap than I can tell you. But you did it because you needed the money. You have to pay for your pictures and resumes, and classes and insurance and food like everybody else. In those days if it was crap you just didn't put it on your resume.

When you play a non-fiction character it is more responsibility than when you are playing a fiction character because that person lived, and you do want to pay respect to that.

To me, character in a person is judged by the decisions that are made under pressure.

Love between two adults is always conditional. You can fall out of love because you are able to fall in love.

Gay and lesbian couples should have the right to experience the joys of marriage and family.
