In L.A., if you're an actor, your personal and professional lives are too intertwined.

People who call themselves actors and can't ever get work; they do need to get another profession.

So many people are called but few serve as actors, you know what I mean?

There's such a work ethic involved in theatre that you can't learn in L.A.

Los Angeles is peopled by waiters and carpenters and drivers who are there to be actors.

In L.A. everyone is an actor. In Texas, everyone's a musician.

There isn't really a theatre culture in L.A., which is odd when there are so many brilliant actors there.

I think a lot of actors feel like outsiders or miscreants. This profession provides an opportunity to play out all the different parts of ourselves.

I think that anybody who says 'This is the one way to go about being an actor' has probably not done a lot of professional work before.

I'm from a country where acting is taken very seriously; it's a very serious profession.
