After being in one movie, it didn't seem like that would be my life. I had done several jobs, briefly. I'd been a shipping clerk, I worked in a copy shop, I didn't think the acting was going to go on and on.

I have been vain since birth. I expected other people to like what I did, although my vanity has definitely diminished over the years.

It's obviously a characteristic of human beings that we like to feel superior to others, but our problem is we are not superior

If I had even the tiniest scrap of advice to give to a young actor who was figuring out how to audition, I would say don't memorize the script The reality about auditions is that 98 percent of the results has to do with what you are, not with what you did in the audition.

I spend most of my time thinking about things like laundry and buying stationery supplies.

I never grew up thinking, 'One day I will play so and so' because I wasn't expecting to be an actor at all.

I know that I am one and I've made a living as an actor and I enjoy being an actor, but when I'm not actually doing it, I forget that I do it.
