I never thought I would have any particular career in movies at all.

You want a career. You don't want to do a couple of good films and then your career is over.

I didn't have any idea that I would be able to have a career in film.

I had no interest in really becoming an actress or doing that kind of thing... I just knew that I wanted to do something in making films.

I could never have imagined the films I've done and the people I've worked with when I was starting out; I certainly did not have a career path.

I got into television, and I'm a television guy, so I've never really had a movie career.

I've always been in the middle of making my own movies, so taking acting jobs that take me away from that has been impossible.

I figured, if I failed, I'd tried something that I hadn't tried before and if one movie was going to destroy my career than I didn't have much of a career to start with. I just went for it. God willing I wasn't over the top and didn't embarrass myself.

I don't have any massive ambitions to be a movie star.

What career? A man's got a body of film of about four movies in about 10 years or something. I do it because I think I can do a good job of something and I'll enjoy it, do it, and sort of vanish. I don't want to be an actor for hire.
