What helps you as an actor when it comes to roles is that deeper understanding of so many different fractions of humanity. Because oftentimes, even in comedy, there is conflict.

It's dangerous for one actor to advise another one, especially when you're not in charge. On the set, I'm never gonna tell another person, "Here's what I think you should do." That's a discussion they should only have with the writers, producers, and directors.

I like to say, in Hollywood, you can't make a redneck movie without me. That doesn't happen. You better not do it.

Every character and person in life needs a voice and every once in a while I get to inhabit the voice of the misunderstood.

I will smash your face into a car windshield, and then take your mother, Dorothy Mantooth, out for a nice seafood dinner and never call her again.

We do have to be a witness to our art.

All of those measures of relationships that you have in your life help feed your and inform your ability to act.
