You'll nip anybody who's coming at you with bullshit. You don't play around. You take this craft very seriously. It's what separates you, what separates an actor from an artist.

They give us access to another world, they give us access to dreams. It's our way of living in a different realm for a short period of time - and how beautiful is that?

I just feel like I'm in the world right now. There have been times when I haven't felt in the world, when I haven't cared whether I was going to be here or not, so my relationship with being on the earth was probably not as intense. And right now, there's an intensity - I want to be here.

You aren't really anybody in America if you're not on TV.

Breathe and don't try to be perfect.

I'm very much an admirer of people who are reaching for things and trying to survive.

My path was to be an actor and it’s been very good to me in life. It’s broadened my horizons and given me a lot of gifts.
