It's so easy for us to misperceive and see the things in others that we want to see. And, when we're wrong, and often we're dead wrong, we miss the truth.

The characters created cannot just be a mouthpiece for the writer. When you look at a piece of writing, and it's genuine and it doesn't feel like every character is just a mouthpiece for the writer, but that they've been created in such a way that they're expressing an idea that a writer wants to get across, that's when a story succeeds.

There's something very interesting about the way each individual actor approaches stuff.

I think people love it when anybody acts bad; its not particular to me.

Theres nothing like standing in a place and wanting nothing so much as to change but simply not being able to.

Being an actor sometimes requires that you ask yourself questions youd rather not know the answers to.

I can't imagine that anyone in Hollywood is sitting around trying to decide what actor is good or right or qualified for a role and is being denied a role because of their political views. I don't think that's the way Hollywood works. We're not living in an era of blacklisting.
