When you put your costume on and you get your hair and your makeup done [for a role] and you stare in the mirror you feel like a different person.

I don't travel for fun, because I travel so much with my work; when I'm not working, I mostly want to stay home.

I guess if there's one thing that might surprise people about me, it's that I'm very obedient. I'm kind of like a dog. I look at acting as kind of a service industry. You're there to serve the writer and the director. I don't really look at it as an act of self-expression, like I'm going to say what's on my mind.

I've always been happy just to be working. It doesn't really matter for me how many people are familiar with my name or my picture, or whatever.

I certainly don't want to have too many pre-conceived notions before I show up because then you might be cutting yourself off from the real lessons of what is going on.

When I'm working, I don't wake up and say, 'OK, time to go be intense.' I just look at whatever scenes we're working on that day and break them down - just real intense everyday work.

Everybodys constantly being destroyed and rebuilding themselves, some more drastically than others.
