I think of myself as a journeyman actor. I've got some talent and I work hard, but people like Brando or Pacino - those people are touched by God.

I think any good actor is an anarchist. They have to be.

Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all.

I think a lot of theater actors that were great, like Walken or Glenn Close, later became film actors.

You can work hard to sharpen your talent, to get better at whatever it is that you do, and I think that's what it comes back to.

I feel I have to work hard to nurture whatever talent I have as an actor. I feel like it's not natural to me. So I don't take it for granted... What I think is my natural ability - which is writing - I think I totally take that for granted.
