I still like to listen to the people that I came of age on.

There is many different paths of a career. I bounce around and do a lot of different things. It suited me that hopefully I am prepared to do different kinds of styles, genres, or whatever you want to call it.

There is no handbook about how a career is going to go.

You always know when something works it's a result of everything firing on all cylinders.

The one nice thing about doing a character for a long time is, you begin to feel more comfortable, and you are thinking less and behaving more.

Being able to fantasize for a couple of days at being a rock singer surpassed most things I've done on stage.

I look at it scene-by-scene. Whether it's a historical character or not, whatever, on the page is one thing and delving into the history or somebody is one thing, but making something work for an audience in front of a camera is another exercise and you bring whatever authenticity you can to it.
