I am not an 'instant' actor... to really do anything, I've got to try it five or six or a dozen times.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As an actor, I have tried to do new things, and that's why I have done few films.
You work really hard to make it, and maybe you get some acclaim, but then you realize there are certain limitations as an actor.
Most actors spend a lot of time training themselves to be an actor. And I kind of didn't do that. I just started doin' it in front of an audience and had to deliver.
I don't have any ambitions as an actor. I felt very uncomfortable doing it. The first take every day I'd open my mouth and no words would come out. I'd do a couple of takes and eventually I could run the lines.
What I try to do as an actor is constantly find that, find ways to risk, find opportunities to fall on my face if it's going to be worth it, and then maybe I'll surprise myself.
I'm not one of these million-dollar actors. I have always been just a working actor. I probably work more than I would like to.
As an actor, you try to put a little bit of yourself in everything you do.
I'm not the type of actor who is trying to do a whole bunch of different stuff, you know what I mean?
As an actor, you're never busy enough.
As an actor, you know there are things you get asked to do that you do quite well, with less effort.
