Im a character actor, and I made a choice when I was young, after Mystic Pizza, not to go for the mainstream stuff, and to do a more eclectic kind of route.

It's pretty simple, pretty obvious: that people's first impressions of people are really a big mistake.

The only thing I do worry about is that the more films I do the more visible I am going to become as a personality because of press and because of the sheer quantity of films.

The search for the truth is not for the faint-hearted.

The key is always to speak in your own voice. Speak the truth. That's Acting 101.

So, it's always different. Some stuff, you want to do because it's a part that you've never played. It's always for story. Sometimes there's a story that you really dig, but there's no part that you're interested in. Sometimes you read a story and you say, "I could do that. I've never done that before. I could do play that part.

I think that being a producer is business and being an actor is art.
