I Love The Theater, But

There Is No Best Anything In Art. Phillip [hoffman] Isn't Better Than Heath [ledger]; Joaquin [phoenix] Isn't Better Than David [strathairn] Or Terence [howard]. They Aren't Better Than Me. We All Do Different Things. It's More Of A Celebration Of A Lot Of Great Work Than To Give The Gold To Somebody. The Underappreciated Factor Certainly Has Gone Away.

The Indie World Changed When The Economy Went South. I Was Frustrated With Doing Something, Then Waiting For It To Come Out, And Sometimes It Never Did, Or Would Just Play In New York For 50 People. So I Really Wanted To Try Something Else.

The Biggest Compliment I Think An Actor Can Get Is I Can't Imagine Anyone Else In The Role.

I Went To Walter Reed Hospital A Couple Of Times To Visit Wounded Soldiers, Kids With No Legs And One Arm. You Start To Question Some Things.

And The Actors Tend Not To Want To Watch Themselves Very Often. I'm One Of Those Guys.
