When I'm reading material, if I'm a little bit afraid of a part and I'm willing to admit that to myself, then I'll do it, definitely. If I'm worried about being able to do it, to get it - I absolutely just love it.

The danger with playing a part that defines you is that it swallows up everything else.

My wife can see always how a part affects me personally because she has to live with it.

Mostly, I avoid worrying since the time spent doing it could be spent more constructively.

I'd rather do a really good small part than a really bad big part.

If something scares me, then I have to do it.

There were times when there were parts that I was sure I got and then I didn't, and I did get upset. But at this point, it doesn't affect me in the least because I know how the business works.

So I did that for a long time in my career, and I waited for parts to play myself just physically down a little bit. But I do feel like I'm at a place in my career now where I don't necessarily fret about that too much anymore.

I think every part's a challenge, and you also never know if you're going to pull it off.
