Sometimes, I feel the reason I have become a star beyond my films is that I am politically incorrect.

As an actor, you may do things that aren't politically correct. Unless you're an actor who only does things for political reasons. I believe if we don't do the good, bad, and the ugly, we're not going to progress.

Actors are an insecure breed. It's hard to have your career depend upon other people's opinions of what you do.

Fame really works against actors, in a way, because our anonymity is a wonderful thing for us.

As an actor, you're trained to do the right thing, be politically correct, say your lines, say the right thing about the people you're working with.

I think you can tell when someone is being dishonest as an actor.

A lot of times you come against actors who come from a different direction, and you tend to meet in the middle.

One of the fun things about being an actor is stepping outside yourself and outside of your own experience. It's challenging yourself to totally commit to something that in your core is so wrong.

It's a little daunting coming on to work with actors that you respect so much.

You're always having to live more to fuel something new. It's an obligation to yourself and to the audience. The personal baggage that comes with being a known actor just adds to that struggle.
