Unlike a lot of actors, my father encouraged all his kids to go into show business.

I'm at this time in life when I have to take the opportunities I have left.

Whenever I work on a part, I look at the world through the filter of the character and I pick things they might use through my observations of real life.

Play doesn't have to be a frivolous thing. You may think of a Beethoven symphony as something serious, but it's still being played. I think Oscar Wilde said that life is too important to be taken seriously.

You prep, you prep, you prep. And on the day that you film, you let all of that go. I try to achieve emptiness as much as possible - the Zen thing - to let the deal come out of that nothing.

The more nervous you get, the more worried you get about something... Maybe you just need to take a nap.

I gotta take notes when things occur to me.
