Everybody's motivation comes from the core of who they are.

When I was younger I used to pick things just to face the fear.

I took a route of acting, rather than starmaking, so it cost me a lot financially.

People who are extremely inside their head, like he was, are caught in a neurosis that goes round and round. Then something will hook them and take them to their end and they can't control it.

It's like why people read scary books or go see scary movies. Because it creates a distance. They're scared, but they're not going to get hurt.

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

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.
