I was working more on a primal, instinctive level. And it just seemed to suit me; it seemed to suit my concentration span, it seemed to suit my personal style of performance, and I have fallen in love with film acting.

Living off the grid and being kind of an outlaw brings a dangerous reality.

I've certainly been very blessed with opportunity.

I like to believe that everyone is born with the same skill set, and that it is the influences that one comes upon.

Each character represents a different color on the big palette of what this ultimate painting is going to look like, who your guy is, and just try to be as honest and simple and real as you can possibly be. The outer trappings are incidental - costumes, period, makeup - all of that is rather insignificant at the end of the day.

As an actor or anybody as a human being, I feel more and more like I want to spend time doing something significant. Because what's the alternative? Spend your life wasting your time.

I'm fully aware that things that resonate and become real hits are the exception to the rule, so much so that I've wired myself for failure.
