We joke about it in the entertainment industry: Every actor wants to be a musician, and every musician wants to be an actor.

Every actor I know wants to be a pop star.

I think actors are divided into two groups: one that wants to be an actor to become famous and rich, and the other that wants to be an actor because they have to be. I'm more in the second group.

I did think that acting would be much more like being a pop star. Now I'm here, I can't think of anything more different.

I've always known I wanted to be an actor. It never crossed my mind to be anything else. I think I probably decided for sure when I saw 'Sounder'.

Being an actor is a much more structured life than being a musician.

Even through my college years, I was trying out plays and shows, but I never really thought it made much sense to try to be an actor. I thought it was foolish, really.

I thought actors were artists and that artists had to be European.

I suspect, for a lot of people who become actors, there's a feeling of wanting to be someone other than who they actually are.

I always wanted to be an actor.
