I think you ultimately have to love who you're playing. You have to have that kind of feeling. You have to have passion for the person.
From Philip Seymour Hoffman
I got into plays in high school then I ended up going to college for it.
In film, you have to let go sometimes.
Actors are responsible to the people we play.
I didn't have any idea that I would be able to have a career in film.
I work constantly but I work at a lot of different things. You know, I run a theater company in New York, I direct plays, act in plays, in movies, so I try to keep it eclectic.
My love for the theater has always been a priority. That hasn't changed. I got into acting that way. The film work that came up was really a surprise.
Sometimes I'm uncomfortable with the level of fame I've got! It all depends on the day and what's going on. I don't desire any more fame. I don't need it.
The drama nerd comes out in me when I'm in a theater.
I don't get nervous when I'm directing a play. It's not like acting.
