When you read, you think, and when you smoke, you think. It's a pleasurable thing, and not a duty.

There’s a period of time in your life when I kind of look back, and I’m like, was I happy, or was I just not aware?

When you read, you think, and when you smoke, you think. It's a pleasurable thing, and not a duty.

When you're playing someone who really lived, you carry a burden, a burden to be accurate. But it's one that you have to let go of ultimately.

You have to have a personal connection. You have to really want to do it, because if you don't, investing yourself personally, your thoughts, your emotions, yourself into a part, is something you're not going to want to do as much.

I was a breed of people who aren't capable of doing anything, really. At college I began to get the idea that being macho wasn't the accepted norm in the liberal world, and especially the world I entered into, which was the artistic world. I had a lot of problems with that because I was struggling with the need to be proud of being a man, which wasn't something I was feeling.

I got into plays in high school then I ended up going to college for it.
