I'm kind of an obsessive-compulsive person, like, neat obsessive.

I was always curious about motivation and intention, and really, that's a lot of what acting is.

I think it’s really, really important to mix it up as an actor, to try to get as much kind of varied experience as you can, not only for your own personal growth as an actor but for the audience to keep them guessing about what you’re going to do.

The best gig is the one you've got.

I'm misrepresented as a scary person. I'm not. It's all about my size and my eyebrows.

You always have to create the character from the ground up.

I was a writer. I just wasn't a very good one. I was lucky enough to have a playwriting teacher who told me that I'd be a better actor than I would a playwright.
