Distortions control my self-image, like they do for a lot of us. It's irrational.

I've always felt there were aspects of me that were monstrous, and you can either hide from it or confront it, embrace it and understand that those are aspects that make you unique and define you and motivate you. You can either overwhelm or overcompensate for them -- but they truly define you as a human being...So that life became a question of either dealing with this monstrousness in one way or another...One finds a way to understand and make friends with that monster and understand that that's the very thing that makes you who you are. That's your emotional and spiritual fingerprint.

I don't ever want to be comfortable with anything I'm doing.

I never direct myself, because I don't like working with me. I would punch me in the mouth if I had to take my direction.

I've certainly been very blessed with opportunity.

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

Every job has a unique situational circumstance.
