I try to ground most of my characters in reality somehow. That's kind of what I bring to the table.

It's rare that I come across actors who are willing to work as hard on the material as I am

With acting, it's all about internalizing the character for me and doing all the preparation you can. So the day you first step into your wardrobe, you can walk like the person. That's really the moment where the light bulb goes off. You're nervous; any actor will tell you that. Robert De Niro will probably tell you the same thing. He may not want to share that with you, but he probably goes through it. That's why actors are so neurotic.

Ultimately in the end, it's the director's choice

It's not hard to keep up the image we chose. It's not hard to stay yourselves.

I wish I was a guy who could have pancakes and bacon and cheesy eggs, but I'd curl up and pass out. I gotta start healthy or I'll be off the rails all day.
