I look for really great characters. I say great because as long as they're really good, there's something you can do. And really good storytelling. And when people ask me what the story is, I say it's really several stories really. They're intermeshed.

Well I can tell you that for me generally speaking that I think things that I deal with are all to do with not accepting things, not excepting life on life's terms. My life becomes a lot easier when I'm willing to just accept. I don't have to like circumstances as they are, but I have to accept them and that's where I always seem to get thrown, when I try to will my way instead of accept things the way they are.

The great, rewarding thing about directing is that you're overseeing the whole thing. When you're an actor, you're just one department.

As an actor, you can't be off the market for too long.

Acting is very competitive. There are few good scripts out there and the ones that are good are very competitive. You look at your options and often times they're not too appealing.

It's a pretty good job being an actor, but it's work sometimes. And when I say work, I mean it's a job.

I like conflict, drama's conflict and if you don't have that in the character it's really not a worthwhile role to play for me.
