I started my career without fans.

I find something fascinating about the quiet man in the background who has no desire to be the center of attention.

It's about pursuing it rather than waiting to see what comes along. That's partly because I found myself getting typecast, as everyone does unless they pursue roles that are very different from what they've done before.

I know a lot of other actors that don't like to look at other references to their characters and things. But I like it. I always look at everything, I read all the books. I read Dieter's "Escape from Laos." I watched the documentary again and again and again. I recorded it just to listen to him a lot. I just don't suffer from feeling like I'm getting caught into an imitation. I just feel like I want to steal some good stuff if it's in there.

I'm an actor I'm not a politician. I always kick myself when I talk too much about family, or personal things.

If everyone really knew what a jerk I am in real life, I wouldn't be so adored in the slightest.

I don't personally look to my own life experiences for answers about how to play a scene.
