I'm a 9/11 Republican.

But some actors I have met possess an intelligence that I can only dream of. It's about character, it's about behavior. They understand things about people that I simply don't see.

Then I realized that to be really good at this requires a lot of energy and concentration and skill.

I kind of dwindled into acting.

I think you have an obligation to be an optimist. Because if you're not, nothing will change

Acting is not about knowing all this stuff; it's about character.

If I don't see my kids for six days, I start to get withdrawal pains
