What drives me is I love my profession. I love to do it.

It's like kids playing house: 'You play the father, I'll play the mother.' You know, you dress up, you play, they pay, you go home. It's a game - acting's a game.

You just can't take a crash course to be a tango dancer in a movie.

A young actor once asked me, What do you do between jobs? I said, Hobbies, hobbies, and more hobbies.

If you don't daydream and kind of plan things out in your imagination, you never get there. So you have to start someplace.

Stripping away artifice - it's the constant standard I aim for in acting, to approximate life. People talk about being bigger than life - but there's nothing bigger than life.

I'm getting good offers, as good as ever sometimes. I just finished a thing with Billy Bob Thornton that was the most unique part I've ever played in my life, in the most unique project.
