I feel like my place in this industry is still progressing.

I havent even been drinking, but, at all, but, you know, being a man, Ive got to say that weve got this guy in the White House who thinks he is a man, you know, who projects himself as a man because he has a certain masculinity, and he's a good old boy, and he used to drink, and he knows how to shoot a gun and how to drive a pickup truck, etcetera like that. Thats not the definition of a man, God Dammit!

You have to be willing to expose yourself, at least to yourself, to get to some kind of truth about a character.

I'm an actor who loves to direct film, if I find something that I'm compelled to do and want to spend three or four years doing. I really love the process, though. I might have to just say, "Yeah, I want to direct that," because I want to direct something, but that's just not the way my being is. It's got to be a necessity for me, otherwise I'll just keep acting.

I was concerned about filling my life up with something important to me. To me, it was just necessary

I made career decisions that came from the part of me who wanted to shun the limelight.

I like to act with people that know what they're doing.
