I don't have a great intellect, and I can't compete with people who do. I feel certain things. And all I know, and all I can do, is what I feel.

With acting it's your neck up there in the end. And if you think the director can't help you it's one thing. But if you feel they're reining you in when they need to be giving you some rope, or vice versa, then I just don't tolerate that.

I wasn`t really raised to be the type of person to have doubts.

Chicago my favourite American city. I'm very much a typical midwesterner, and I don't think the condition is curable.

You can be a mason and build 50 buildings, but it doesn't mean you can design one.

Much of what you do as an actor - it's who's around you, what's the environment, where do you fit into this thing. That's really work that's impossible to do on your own, at least for me. I find it hard to pre-plan every element of everything I do. It's not my thing.

I wouldn't say anything I ever did in film would be something I'd use the word proud about. I've done better work in the theater.
