I don't remember what made me want to be an actor. In fact, I'm always curious.

Better to be king for a night than a schmuck for a lifetime.

Everyone's always interested in a dark theme, especially when there's humor connected to it. It seems like that helps, if that's an integral and organic part of the whole story.

I always tell actors when they go in for an audition: Don't be afraid to do what your instincts tell you. You may not get the part, but people will take notice.

I spent lunchtime in a grave during the filming of 'Bloody Mama.' When you're younger, you feel that's what you need to do to help you stay in character. When you get older, you become more confident and less intense about it - and you can achieve the same effect.

You don't have to rush to do anything.

One of the things about acting is it allows you to live other people's lives without having to pay the price.
