What's nice about acting is that you're not just left with yourself all the time, but you get to see the world through so many different people's eyes.

My nomadic childhood dramatically fed my eventual decision to be an actor, but not in the way you might think.

I made an enjoyable living as a very young man, but I think as I became more comfortable and knowledgeable about myself and what I wanted, I moved into acting.

Acting has always existed alongside my normal life. It's been a case of learning on the job. I've worked in so many styles, with so many people, so I've picked bits up from everyone and everything.

I have driven school buses, sold egg rolls and painted houses, and I have often wondered what my life would have been like if I hadn't gone into acting. Mind you, it's a great life, going around pretending you're other people and getting paid ridiculous sums of money for it.

It's what still excites me most about acting: letting your imagination go places it's never been before. There's nothing better than that.

Acting was never something I wanted to do for the rest of my life, so it was easy to walk away.

I think I was a nomad in another life.

Acting was just another part of my life, as it still is today. It's 1 of the 10 things I love doing. It's never just been my life. As cheesy as it sounds, all my eggs were never in just one basket. I had a thousand baskets going on.

I've never felt terribly attached to acting because I always feel like the world is really big and really interesting, and there are a lot of places that I can put my energy and be fulfilled.
