The best thing an actor can be is ready. Be flexible, be ready.

The truth is I like the crazy ones better than the well-behaved ones normally because they tend to be the passionate ones. They never come after you if you're holding up your end. The only thing that's bad about an abusive director is that they bully the people they can.

One of the pleasures of being an actor is quite simply taking a walk in someone else's shoes. And when I look at the roles I've played, I'm kind of amazed at all the wonderful adventures I've had and the different things I've learned.

I want to work with people who are good at what they do, and people who are passionate.

I've been in very few flat-out comedies. But I feel like I've always made comedies.

Sometimes you're wrong, but if I'm a repeat customer, it means I must have valued the past experiences.

I'm an optimist. I hope if a movie's good that it will be a success, but as we know, that's not always true, just because of popular taste, advertising, distribution patterns - there's lots of reasons.
