“An actor always wants to sink his teeth into something.”

But somehow I’ve gotta find a way to play this.

My two kids take a lot of my focus, which I’m grateful for.

I’ve never bought a boxed set DVD or anything like that.

In some ways, what I learned is that you can take a character and breathe with them,

The world isn’t what you think it is.

A series is a big deal, and there are a lot of people out there writing stuff that don’t know what art is.

I lay the clothes out on the floor with the shoes and socks,

It’s easy to actually get the ink on the page

As an actor, often you’re stuck with these scenes in which a great period of time is in between them – for example, if you do a biopic, it might be a year, it might be a decade, you never know.

You mortgage yourself sometimes.

And its up to the audience to interpret rather than you putting moral stamp on the character.

Life here with the things of the earth is a sinking, a defeat, a failing of the wing.

Our cellar home had a kitchen and a combination bedroom and half bath, which meant we had a sink next to the bed.

Sometimes you need to press pause to let everything sink in.

From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free.
