What kind of recognition do I deserve? I don't deserve any recognition.

I'm a character actor, and I made a choice when I was young, after 'Mystic Pizza', not to go for the mainstream stuff, and to do a more eclectic kind of route.

When you're a child, you're able to assimilate so easily into any situation. You even start talking like the people you're around. I wasn't conscious that I was so good at that until I started to truly feel like an actor.

Acting is not a mystery. There's nothing that I know that other actors don't know. We all act, we're all actors, we all know the same thing. The only thing that separates us is experience.

It doesn't need to be a number one show, it just needs to be good.

The minute you start feeling like you've got it down, you know what you're doing, you're dead in the water.
