You write a play mostly out of yourself. There's a need to get a certain thing down.

It sounds maybe a little old fashioned, but the parts I want to play and I do play, you don't want to inject too much of your own personality. What you sacrifice then is a slight mystery.

To get a script like 'Death Proof' and to get cast in it just affirmed that I want to do character work; that's where my heart is. Maybe I will get to it again, maybe I won't, but it's what I like to do is play something a little outside of myself. This solidified the desire certainly for me.

I want things to be characters and not me. Why would I want to play me?

I've had some marvelous parts, but I'm also asked to play characters who are kind of superficial people.

I'm not the kind of player to see out my time and sit with my bum on the bench too much. I want to be involved. That's my character.

I would love to have the opportunity to do a play.

Question the motives of those who make requests of you. Discover what they really want. You may not want to give it.

I seem to play a lot of losers.

I'm dying to play a nice guy! No one's willing to cast me. They know I'm all right at bashing people up, but they don't know if I can do the other stuff. And I can.
