I had to face within myself all the things I didn't do and wasn't while I was wearing my own crown.

And the test for any actor is whether you stay at the table or go away.

I always choose to do the thing that scares me.

I have a good friend who says, "We're all just dodging bullets." It seems to me the trick to living a good life is to try to move away from the gun you turn on yourself.

But I think one of the reasons I tend to stay in the water most of the time is I distrust the comfort.

It's a living, breathing thing, acting.

I just feel that no matter what comes in a career - and mine has been all over the map - you must stay at the table, pick up the cards you're dealt and play them.
