I'm of the mind that life is a risk. Every time you leave your house it's a risk, and I see no reason to go through life with my hands tied behind my back for any reason. I'd be foolish to let something stop me from doing what I love to do.

Most of my career up until the last couple of years has basically been a training ground for me. Actors that came up in the '50s and '60s, they had the theater, and television was in its infancy.

I spent a lot of years just learning my craft and falling down in front of the camera.

You just have to go with a good story and a script that you like and people that you like to work with.

I do know that people tend to do their best work when they're challenged and stimulated by their peers.

Sharing the same vision for what's on the page is always a good idea. The director's job is to establish what that is and make sure that everyone sticks to it when it comes down to actually executing it.

I'm interested in people that don't always do the right thing, its much more akin to what I know about life.
