While I was doing these plays in the beginning, I wasn't getting paid. I thought of it more as a hobby. Then I realized how seriously a lot of these people took what they were doing

I got to talking to an old actor, and he had a bunch of stories about the Rough Riders

To people outside, they think, Gee, that's great. You get to go here and there. The other side of that is our expression, This is location, not vacation

Take characters that Nicholson or De Niro play: they're not always tough

I didn't know how to go about preparing for the part of someone who can't remember who he is. The frustration angle is written in, but there's also this incredible passive state

I was kind of confused. I thought, Well, if I get drafted, I'll go. Everybody was very concerned with it. I had friends who went. Some that came back and some that didn't

Even my agents say, 'We don't know what this business is anymore.'
