The only way to silence a room that's laughing at you is to sort of take over.

I think one of the things that might distinguish me is when I'm going to work as an actor I really try not to worry about my own personal hang-ups and just really concentrate on the work. Because I have such a respect for acting, which is something I feel like I'm constantly learning how to do, that all of my energy is always focused on the acting itself.

I tend to lose my performance energy the longer things go on for, so I'm always best on the very first take.

It is very possible that I could have ended up on 80 acres of land by myself, and fallen in love at a distance with a gorgeous woman I could never have been with.

I always think change is important in a character. The most dynamic choices that you can make for a character are always the best ones.

Im okay with being unimpressive. I sleep better.

I see how people boss other actors around to try to get a scene favorable to them. I absolutely just never engage in doing that. If someone's going to do it to me, I just let them have it.
