People very often say to actors that they admire their careers, and I rather think that what's implied by that is that we have a choice in the matter. When really, most actors, me included, do whatever comes along next.

Actors are an insecure breed. It's hard to have your career depend upon other people's opinions of what you do.

I don't consider a lot of actors that I really admire movie stars.

I admire a lot of actors; I think a lot of them have so much talent.

I just don't think of myself as an actor much at all, so I don't lust after any particular roles.

I don't like that, because there are a lot of people whose works I admire as actors or actresses, or musicians. And you know, I've been a big fan of different musicians or actors.

There are many actors I really like and whose work I admire.

I don't really like to work with actors that work a lot and are very well established already. In a way, I like to nurture talent and have it burst on the scene.

I'm largely interested in people who are just great actors, and they're not necessarily hugely famous.
