Somehow whatever I play ends up being sleazy.

This whole business feels kind of intense, like a bad fit. Round peg, square hole. But whatever, I'll take it.

I think one of the great things about acting is the instant gratification: you just get up and start being a part of the story. The immediacy is something you get really addicted to.

Growing up, I didn't know where I was headed, except to the grave or maybe to the gutter. I went through wanting to do a lot of things, but acting wasn't one of them.

Acting can be a really silly thing. It's like playing dress-up.

I played old men back in drama school. It's just now that I'm drawing level with the age of the characters I play, but I'm fine with that, and I've certainly never envied people who became hugely famous when they were young.
