Hamlet, that's the only role there is, finally. The only role. After that, you settle down and only do the fun things on stage.

Theater, because of the commitment, it has to be a great role and a great play to me. It takes a lot out of you.

I love scenes that are just emotional give and take. By the same token action sequences are great to do. They have their own unique demands and requirements. So I take it as it comes and hopefully you can get a good balance of all of that stuff.

The truth is, I'm a character guy. That's how I see myself. I always see the role as being far more interesting and important than I am... not all actors approach it that way.

Fortitude, determination... in a way they're things that I idealize myself and am curious about.

I don't believe that being against the war can be equated with being non-supportive of our troops.

My advice to actors? To successful actors, it's, "sock it away," and unsuccessful actors, it's just, "Just keep at it. Don't do it unless you have to do it and if you have to do it, keep you've got to keep your instrument in shape. You just got to keep on getting better. If you're not getting better, you're standing still.
