Early on - certainly in acting - you really have to take whatever you can get. So I understand well how difficult it can be to be in this position where people are just not hearing what you're trying to say or are saying. I recognize that.

Coen brothers movies are not always what life looks like but it's definitely what life feels like.

I like being like a chameleon who transforms himself with each role.

The performances had to be live. When you play it back, you can see if the hands aren't really doing the right thing, and then the whole magic falls apart.

I've written a lot of music, so to be able to put that together and play some shows around the country and elsewhere - that would really be a fun thing to do.

The hardest things to do in any art is to risk failure and put yourself out on the line.

I think that when you decide to dedicate yourself to creative endeavors and surround yourself with people who are creative, you very quickly learn how hard it is to survive doing those kinds of things, not to mention make a living at them.
