At this point in my career, I can stand shoulder to shoulder with an actor my age who has chosen to do really awful things, and he will get a job over me.

Actors want to show off and dance in front of you and get your love, because they don't think they're worthy of it in any other way.

If you're lucky as you get older, you respect the craft and it becomes a skill.

However, I don't by any means suggest that I'm always playing myself.

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 also easy to fall back into what's familiar, what feels safe, what you've done before.

There is a thing called the death wish, a literal thing. It doesn't mean you want to die. It just means however we're built, as we get into these years, some inner part of you does begin to accept the fact that you're heading towards the end, and there's a peace that comes with that.
