I believe acting is very physical, and when you have to fight or do those kinds of things, it takes a lot of respect not to allow yourself to go off and hurt yourself or someone else.

You can never lead unless you follow.

If I can look at each character that I am given and create them in a different way from the last role, I'm happy.

I feel that we have come a long way as American people, and we have to start looking at ourselves as human beings.

When I listen to my scene partners and listen to their breathing allows me to be connected to them in scenes. I am not trying to multi task, not trying to talk on the phone, but in my character.

I had to work from a young age.

I think many people have contradictions to them and I love characters that deal with those contradictions.
