When I was younger, people used to say you only really prove yourself as an actor on stage. And I disagree with that. Some of the finest acting I've ever come across has been for film.

I'm a huge fan of 'The Exorcist.'

I did it for the money. But its not worth much if you cant face yourself in the mirror. Respect is the ultimate currency.

There are a lot of people who go through a lot of tough things, and it doesn't stop them from wanting to be a better parent.

I'm not the kind of actor who goes into exhaustive research for each role.

Parenthood and family come first for me, and when I'm not working I'm cool with the Teletubbies.

Film is very much about capturing the essence of things - if you feel it, and you've got the right person shooting it, it'll come across. Theater's a different animal; it's physically different and requires a different discipline. In the theater, you're mining the same material, constantly honing the same thing, executing it and keeping it alive and fresh.
