My goal was just to work regularly. I didn't ever expect to be rich or famous. I wanted to be a working character actor.

I don't do a huge amount of physical activity. I play tennis, I work out sporadically, and I eat well and take care of myself.

The best movies are made from a point of view of an understanding of human nature and an understanding of history and an understanding of what motivates people, of what makes a good movie from an emotional place.

I shaved my hairline back and dyed my hair and wore a little powder, a little paint, a fat suit, and I changed my voice, but the emotions were consistent with what the point of the scene [with Branch Rickey] was.

We all have big changes in our lives that are more or less a second chance.

My occupation is assistant storyteller. It is not "icon."

Why do I ask for directions? Because I hate wasting time.
