You draw on whatever’s relevant to the part you’re playing; it makes it more personal.

I didn't have a problem with rejection, because when you go into an audition, you're rejected already. There are hundreds of other actors. You're behind the eight ball when you go in there.

I think it's important to have had at least a few years of obscurity, where people treat you like everybody else.

Time goes on. So whatever you're going to do, do it. Do it now. Don't wait.

The director respects what they've hired you for and chosen you for: to do the part and respect what you're doing.

You'll have time to rest when you're dead.

There's nothing more ironic or contradictory than life itself.
