I wanted to be Katharine Hepburn-ish - there was a bit of nobility about her.

I grew up in a show-business family, but we were working-class show business. There was nothing glamorous about it. You had great things one day and the next day, nothing.

I started to repeat to myself "If I'm not where I want to be, it's because I'm not good enough... yet." Which meant it was up to me.

I had to let my ego go a long time ago.

I don't want to look old and worn, but what can you do? My real focus is being an actor. I care more about having the opportunity to play roles that I haven't played than I care if my neck looks like someone's bedroom curtains.

Never, ever, have I felt really accepted in Hollywood.

But there isn't any second half of myself waiting to plug in and make me whole. It's there. I'm already whole.
