When you study, as I did, every theatrical beginning in this country, none of them have been greeted well. The Royal Shakespeare Company was a disaster, Peter Hall was a disaster, Richard Eyre was a disaster, Trevor Nunn was always a disaster.
From Kevin Spacey
I mean we all played as kids. You play games, you take on different characters, you imitate; the fun and the love of play has never left me.
I've been trying to take this journey over the last four years of getting away from playing manipulative and villainous characters and playing characters that are affected by what happens to them as opposed to unaffected.

Being an actor sometimes requires that you ask yourself questions you'd rather not know the answers to.
There's nothing like standing in a place and wanting nothing so much as to change but simply not being able to.
I'll tell you one thing. I've never heard a director saying that the dailies suck.
Bobby Darin was one of the first to take black musicians on the road with his band, and there were places that didn't want him to play, and he stood up to it.
I felt that I shouldn't be an actor who just makes movie after movie in a quest for prestige and money.
