As an actor, I love working with directors. As much as I love working with other actors.

Humor is a very important thing. It is a natural predilection. It is an emotional release.

It does if you put yourself out there being a pirate. It's like if you have an army and your army sit around and not doing anything and living the lives of decadence and they're faced with a battle, and you slide. Do they deserve the right to call themselves an army? Do these pirates who are basically languishing deserve the right to call themselves pirates? They're victims of their own success.

Sometimes, I have lost out on a gig because I was not high enough profile.

History is written by victors and, occasionally, sensationalist journalists. I mean that with the best respect.

I consider it an actor going to work with other actors. It's not a competitive sport, it's not to outact anybody else, sorta thing, you can be a bad actor but you don't outact anybody, you just bring your character as best as you can.

I don't think you see a pirate with a parrot on his shoulder, for example. And even with the accents.
