I do the best I can when I'm accepting the role to say, 'This is about as much as I can do, and if that's not suitable for you, then you should hire somebody else.'

I wish I could say that when I didn't agree with a director I defer to him, but I think sometimes I'm a little self-righteous.

I never felt that I was typecast, but I was concerned about it. I certainly made an effort to take as many parts in theater and film that resisted that. If you only learn how to act a certain kind of role, it is very difficult to grow as an actor.

I don't think actors should have to do anything but come in and act.

I feel the film companies should pay for proper advertising to see that the movie will sell, instead of putting it on our backs.

One of the difficulties you run into is that acting and celebrity are so closely intertwined. People make careers out of being charismatic personalities. It's one of those things that people have come to expect from actors. Personalities that don't change from role to role. I don't want it that way.
