One of the reasons people find me a believable actor is that I don't seem like one of the gods from Olympus. I seem like someone who was lucky enough to be let into Olympus.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You know, my point in being an actor is to get people to believe that this is not about me, but something else.
I didn't believe that I'd ever be lucky enough to be able to make a living as an actor.
If you're lucky, and not a lot of actors are these days, you get the chance to create a character.
I always wanted to be an actor, but I just never told anyone. I had this superstition that if I said it out loud, it wouldn't come true.
I've never been one of those actors who has touted myself as a fascinating human being. I had to decide early on whether I was to be an actor or a personality.
I had no intention of being an actor. I was quite good at it. I was pretty capable at other things but never any good at anything.
I figure there are a few actors like Marlon Brando, George C. Scott and Laurence Olivier who have been touched by the hand of God. I'm in the next bunch.
I've always slightly envied other actors I know who have different reputations. I think, 'God, you don't get people coming up to you, going, 'Hey!' - because they're scared of you.'
I felt unworthy to play Jesus. I just accepted the responsibility and said, 'What actor wouldn't want to play this role?'
As an actor, you usually live your life with faith.
