“I have great admiration for athletes. They are just like actors in a lot of ways. They have tremendous pressures and conflicts. They have to compete, and they can’t stay home just because they have a head cold.”

You are fully capable of deciding your own destiny. The question you face is: which path will you choose? This is something only you can decide.

I read a lot of scripts, so I know by page 25 if I like it or not.

What is necessary is never unwise.

You get thought of in terms of your last job. So if my last job is that of a meat cleaver-wielding character, I will hardly be cast as some benign, older gentleman.

What would I have done if I wasn’t an actor? Probably rob banks.

Your job as an actor is to stay employed.
