I'm envious of actors. You shoot a movie or you do a season of 'Big Love,' and then you're on hiatus and you have a bunch of free time.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've learned to think in terms of having a long career. Actors can have very long careers that last until the day we die, but there will be moments when you'll feel like you're a failure or when you're disappointed in yourself.
There are lots of actors out there who are hugely, hugely talented and haven't got the breaks I've had.
I don't like other actors much. The industry tends to attract insecure, needy people.
I'm not one of those actors who needs the media spotlight all the time to feel gratified. I'm happy to do one project a year and take the rest of the year off as long as that project is special.
I'm still waiting to hit it big. But there was the moment when I didn't have to work at the restaurant anymore, which is the milestone for every actor. When your job is just to be an actor and not to have to do anything else.
I just refuse to date actors. I've done that, and I don't want to do that anymore. It's just the stress of traveling and being away from each other so much.
I think as an actor you're lucky to have any film take on a life of its own long after it's left the theater.
I'm a fan of a very few actors.
I can't complain. I'm making a living out of what I do, which is really rare for a lot of actors. The hard part is staying confident and staying with it.
I love actors. That's my bread and butter, and I got to work with some amazing ones on '12 Years'.
