After every movie, you get offered the role that you just did in the last movie.

Actors always direct themselves. A good actor shows up onset ready, especially in television, and you've done your homework and you know your character. The director may have some variation on what you're thinking or they may have a different interpretation of the scene. So you come prepared to shoot and you've given yourself notes. In television, it may be the first time you're meeting this director and you've been living in this character's skin for a couple of years. It's always great to have fresh perspective and fresh insight, but no one knows your character better than you do.

Some of the things I've been in are comedic, but I don't get considered for true comedies because I'm a 'dramatic' actor.

That's the weirdest thing about television for me is that you're getting feedback in the middle of the work.

In the modern world there's no such thing as formality. A dinner jacket used to mean a tuxedo, you know?

After every movie, you get offered the role that you just did in the last movie.

It seems like the more I live, the more I realize that saying 'yes' is almost never a mistake. If you say no, it might feel safe, but then you end up going nowhere.
