It's very hard to get a movie made. You could spend your life reading scripts that never got made.

I never know when I am being funny, and the other way too. I don't think you can think about that. I don't think you can try to be funny. Some people are just funny.

When I was a kid, I worked in the circus. It was a touring circus that was owned by a man named Terrell Jacobs. It was just one big tent, and he was a lion tamer. He didn't have any kids, but the bit was that I would dress up as his son in an identical outfit.

I think that a good movie creates its own world, and that world needn't refer to anything that's real. If it's consistent, if it's entertaining, if it's interesting, it justifies its being there.

A job leads to a job, just like anything else, and it became apparent that this was probably what I was going to keep doing.

All actors do what they do differently, and it doesn't matter.

Emotional power is maybe the most valuable thing that an actor can have.
