I'm not much of a preparer. I think sometimes as an actor you need to go out and learn some skills, but in terms of preparation for understanding the character, it's all on the page, and if it's not on the page, you're in trouble.

Anyway, I try to be a good guy. I try to tell the truth, but I'm not religious.

Directors work 10 times harder than anyone else. Get paid a quarter.

I feel very secure about the role of the actor in the future. They need us, because stories are about people.

At the end of the day, what actors really want to do is act a lot and not wait around in the trailer.

Nothing else counts except what you want.

What actors are good at doing is walking into a situation that should make you incredibly self-conscious and frightened and doing it anyway. That's the gig, pretending that you are comfortable.
