I think of being an actor as a blue-collar profession.

If humanity can exist for another million years, everybody's going to be a light shade of yellow-brown-red-tan.

The actual time you're acting is miniscule compared to the time you're getting ready to do the work. The big difference on series television is, there's not a lot of hanging-out time. You're pumping those pages out, you're doing six, seven, eight pages a day. And I like that pace.

I'm in the wrong racket if I didn't want a public life.

I mean, it's the life lessons that I suppose you learn that nobody gets a free ride and that you do the best you can with the means that you can and try to open yourself to as much knowledge and all that that you can.

Actors are journeymen. We show up for work. We do the job and then we go. What goes on behind the scenes is what goes on behind the scenes.

Scars remind us where we've been - they don't have to dictate where we are going.
