I was just lucky enough to grow up in a time when they actually had drama departments in schools.

Fear is where the information is.

I really have no ulterior motive in taking on certain roles. I have no larger issue that I really want to show people. I'm an actor, that's all. I just do what I do.

The opportunities I've had to play really complex characters - which haven't been a lot, but some - you never get over them.

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

If you have the opportunity to play these characters that are three-dimensional and very deeply rooted in an emotional level, they stay with you. They lived in you anyway, the density of them. It takes a while to realize how they've influenced you.

You just do the best you can with what you've got... and sometimes magic strikes.
