I'm reading scripts, desperately wanting to work. I've set a couple of things up for next year

If I went to them all dressed up and flashed a nice smile for the cameras it would probably be easier for me to get work. But I just can't tolerate it.

It always seemed to me like it was a significant thing to do with one's life to be an actor 'cause I love movies and I felt like, not to be grandiose about it, but there is something important about film with the function it provides to general society.

In the early part of your career you are always compared with somebody until you can stand on your own two feet

You have to keep people engaged until you get them through the next commercial. I'm not complaining about working in TV, at all, but just as an artistic reaction, I find myself being so drawn to moments of silence where things are allowed to breathe.

They say that theater is the actor's medium, television is the writer's medium and film is the director's medium, and it's really true.

I get invited to literally every single movie premiere that's going on.
