“I think everybody really responds to the secret society aspect. This idea that you have to remain anonymous, and yet at the same time, you’re kind of saving the world.”

I was trained at a conservatory school, and they usher you into the business by giving you a showcase. I was so lucky that I met with an agent

I never really said I wanted to be a TV star, when I was a kid.

You can get too heavy on the masculine side of things with all of the action, but then we’ve got a really nice balance going on when you go home and look at the wives’ story lines

You need to tune your instrument, which is your body and your mind, and your soul.

What’s going on on the home front. I think people really respond to that balance of masculine and feminine.

He sent me on an audition for a TV pilot, and I happened to book it. It was like complete luck that it happened.

I think a lot of people feel like they may not get the recognition that they deserve, but that they can still kind of maintain and do good, and there’s a kind of quiet satisfaction in not being recognized for stuff.

The theater and film, they’re like two completely different mediums.

A lot of people kind of want to wait until you’re off a show before they book you into a movie.

I was trained in the theater, so I really learned a lot about how to work with the camera, just technically speaking, it’s been an amazing learning curve.

To any aspiring actor, go and train yourself.

There’s nothing like a good conservatory drama school to really get you ready for the work force.

I love the feeling of being anonymous in a city I’ve never been before.

I didn’t choose anonymity.Instead, I chose absence.

In the future, everybody will be anonymous for 15 minutes.

The anonymity of the city is one of its strengths as well as – carried too far – one of its weaknesses.

I can never be anonymous – especially when I walk round looking like this; especially when I take so much trouble not to be anonymous, right?

By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world.

The challenge for me as an actor is if you become a celebrity, you don’t meet strangers anymore. And strangers are where we have our anonymity. And I believe it’s essential for the soul to be anonymous, especially if you’re going to be an actor.

Anonymity beats fame. One cannot undo fame.
