I became an actor so I didn't have to be myself.

When you're a young actor, and you're really fighting to have your place in the world - for me, anyway - it took a mental focus and energy and striving. It took a long time. And it was my whole life.

The one great thing about a continuing collaboration is that they know you. And if you're really lucky, they really believe in you and think that your talent has some unending bounds to it.

After the brain tumor happened, I realized I love acting, I've always loved it, I may never get a chance to do it again.

The true value of somebody in this town is very hard to determine. It's all smoke and mirrors.
