What I learned as an actor was the only way you could really do August Wilson's work, you had to leave an ounce of your essence on that stage,... Otherwise it was impossible.

If I had my druthers, I would do only stage work.

Acting is the easiest money you'll ever make in your life, and directing is probably the hardest money.

The thing is, the studio then forget that you're an actor and that you can do other things, and so since they pay you for that, they don't want you to do anything else.

I still make more money as I do as an actor than director, however I don't want to be a commercial director.
