I'm the kind of actor who has ventured into escaping from me.

I have never taken myself that seriously as an actor.

I think I may have become an actor to hide from myself. You can escape into a character.

I did not expect to be allowed to be an actor, to be allowed to eventually direct things.

I was dissatisfied just being an actor.

I had no intention of being an actor. I was quite good at it. I was pretty capable at other things but never any good at anything.

So, one way or another, I found myself in a few movies. I take it seriously when I'm on the set, but I don't take myself seriously as an actor.

It's not hard for me to access a bad actor. That's always there. It's actually kind of a load off your mind because, the worse you do, the better it goes.

I toyed with the notion of being an actor, and am so glad that this whim did not go any further.
