Life is a beautiful thing. But you're always striving to be better in your art, striving to be heard. And obviously in a movie business, it's striving to be noticed and appreciated.

Generally speaking, the more money that's involved in anything, the more people are expecting and hoping that it's not going to fail.

I don't actually drive trains. I'm an actor.

I am critical of myself like everyone else. You go to a movie theater and you are forty feet high. I had bad skin as a teenager and I am a shy person, but I think I am in the perfect business to fight my insecurities. You have to learn to love yourself and say 'I am pretty cool' instead of being so critical. You can easily fall into the trap of doing that.

The great thing about theater is that you have so much time to prepare, and to fail, before presenting it to the public. In film, the high-wire act seems to be that much farther up, and the net seems to be less there.

The more you are positive and say: "I want to have a good life." The more you build that reality for yourself; by creating the life that you want.

I'm more cerebral than I want to be.
