I hate to tell you this, but there's an entire subset of people out there who think of me as quite a dull actor. And that's the word used, and often - dull.

There's no doubt in the world that directing makes you a better actor. Me, anyway. There's no doubt in the world that it makes me a more collaborative actor.

People used to think of me as a comedy actor.

The whole fame question is one that is constantly intriguing to me. I think that fame is something that other people create about you. Whether you jump into that or not is up to you - and whether you have the talents for jumping into it or not.

I'm not always angry. In fact, I think I usually go out of my way to try to find roles that don't seem to be like me.

I am a character actor. I'm not a presence actor. And those exist all over the place.
