I'm not a leading man. I'm a character actor. That's what I want to be.

I really feel like indie films are where I learn to be a better actor, especially because they always give you a bit more freedom to collaborate.

If I could get myself to a place where I felt secure and I wouldn't have to kind of worry about money and I know my family would be secure, then I would leave the big studios so I could continue to make smaller films, and hopefully get to direct a few of them, too.

It's never boring in makeup.

I don't think there's a certain part of a character I take with me. There's a certain part of me I leave with each character, though.

I'm more a fan of old-school films with really interesting stories and good performances. That's what I'd like to do.

I didn't want to be a movie star, I wanted to be an actor. Because acting is what I fell in love with, and acting is what is still challenging for me.
