My parents were divorced and I would spend weekends with my father.

I love actors, regardless of where they are in their skill level. There's something terribly satisfying about working with someone who's really learning.

With big, emotional roles it's very easy, especially if you've grown up in the American school of acting, to exploit your own pain. You have to be careful about that, because 9 times out of 10, your pain is not appropriate to the character.

I love to work in all sorts of different situations. I think you learn a lot, which is why I try not to approach something the same way, because it might not be appropriate, and then you can get lazy just out of boredom. So I love any approach.

Doing the right thing has power.

You have a lot more to give, the older you get. And you want to give it. I mean, some people want to give it. But there is a desire to pass down, to have a hand in the past and a hand in the future. There's a continuum.

For me to have the opportunity to stay with one character for, God willing, a long period of time, is really exciting.
