I have a constant sort of melancholy approach to acting that fuels me. I want to do everything.

I've been in more than 20 movies. You just do the best you can and try to make a living.

Money is power and power gives you choice.

I think of myself as a journeyman actor. I've got some talent and I work hard, but people like Brando or Pacino - those people are touched by God.

From Sam Rockwell

I'm happy that I'm finally getting some lines in my face. I always looked too young for the kind of roles I wanted. It was constraining. My face didn't fit my innards until I reached 40.

From Sam Rockwell

After 40, you want to reverse the ageing process. That's complicated for me because I spent so many years wanting to be older.

From Sam Rockwell

I used to break dance. I can do some good James Brown footwork. But now I think I've danced too much. My girlfriend made fun of me: 'Enough with the dancing.'

From Sam Rockwell

You hit 41 and you don't burn calories like you used to.

From Sam Rockwell

I've done so many independents for so many years. Leads that nobody's seen.

From Sam Rockwell

I took a break after 'Confessions.' I was real picky. And then I suddenly realized I hadn't worked in a year. And I was sort of, like, not really happy. I think people are happier when they have structure, you know? You realize that as you get older. You have to have rituals and structure.
