I Think Just Getting A

The Truth Is That Filmmaking Is Not Really An Actor's Medium; It's Really A Director's Medium, So All I Can Really Control Is The Character That I'm Playing. So I Try To Look For Characters That Are Interesting And Engaging And Different Than What I've Done Before And Hopefully It Becomes A Good Movie.

There Are A Lot Of Actors In The World, There's A Small Number That Actually Get To Work As Actors, And There Is A Tiny Group Of Actors That Are Celebrated In The Way That I Have Been. I Feel Incredibly Lucky.

I End Up Improvising In Almost Everything To Some Degree, 'cause It's Often Necessary On Movies. The Script Is One Thing, And It's This Kind Of Theory Of What You're Going To Do, And Then You Get There On The Day And You Realize, "oh, The Script Is Not Appropriate To This Room, The Door's Over Here."

I Know I'm Not Some Matinee Idol, But I Think We're Sold This Bill Of Goods By The Media, Which Says That Only The Most Beautiful And Dashing People Can Become Movie Stars. So When Someone Like Me Sneaks In, They Have To Redo The Calculations.

You Know, The Truth Is That Us Actors Would All Like To Believe We Re-invent The Wheel, Every Time We Play A Character. But, We're Human Beings And Our Instruments Are Not Violins, They Are Our Bodies And Our Consciousness And Our Collective Life Experience.
