You have to understand that crew members make movies so they're seeing a lot of actors all the time in their career acting.
If you're a human being walking the earth, you're weird, you're strange, you're psychologically challenged.
People aren't going to throw the kind of money at certain people that they used to.
Being unemployed is not good for an actor. No, it isn't, no matter how unsuccessful you are. Because you always remember getting fired from all the restaurants. You remember that stuff very, very strongly.
I didn't have any idea that I would be able to have a career in film.
I have a fine level of recognition in the business and among the acting community now, so I consider myself one of the lucky ones. If I didn't think that, there would be something wrong with me. I'm grateful and thankful for what I've got.
My love for the theater has always been a priority. That hasn't changed. I got into acting that way. The film work that came up was really a surprise.
Sometimes I have a great day of filming and sometimes the theater strikes me better. It just depends.
Sometimes I'm uncomfortable with the level of fame I've got! It all depends on the day and what's going on. I don't desire any more fame. I don't need it.
The size of my head though is pretty abnormal.
If I was a little bit younger I would worry more. I'd want to do one thing at a time but now I try to do a bunch of different things at a time if I can.
When you have a child, as anyone knows who has them, that's basically all you want to talk about.
I have so much empathy for these young actors that are 19 and all of a sudden they're beautiful and famous and rich. I'm like, 'Oh my God, I'd be dead.'
The drama nerd comes out in me when I'm in a theater.
I don't get nervous when I'm directing a play. It's not like acting.
Creating anything is hard.
There are characters in movies who I call 'film characters.' They don't exist in real life. They exist to play out a scenario. They can be in fantastic films, but they are not real characters; what happens to them is not lifelike.
I don't have a specific thing I want anyone to get out of anything I do.
I've never been on a cruise.
In film, you have to let go sometimes.
