I will not do a role that I don't think I can do, that I'm not interested in, where there's no humanity, that doesn't have any kind of handle for me at all because I know I'll just stink the joint up.

I'm real comfortable around people, and it took a long time for me to evolve to that point.

You draw on your own childhood every time you tee it up as an actor.

I just think that there are those people that their resolve is strengthened by what it is that's keeping them down, and there are some people that will buckle under it. You never know which one is which until you get into the eighth or ninth round of the fight.

I expect that everything I do will be not watched or not seen. That way, I'm never disappointed when I become flooded with that reality.

I lost 90 pounds and my blood pressure went down to a normal level and the salt in my urine disappeared. And that was when I had to make the transition from fat character actor to thin character actor.

The luxury of television is that you get more than one shot at who you think the guy is that you're playing.
