I've been very lucky not to have turned down too many roles that I've later regretted.

I turned down as many roles that I thought were beyond my abilities as I did ones I thought weren't good enough.

I think the periods of being unsuccessful have made me a better actor.

I was offered some film roles, and I did not do them. It would have been interesting, but I have no regrets. I am where I am; I accept and embrace the mistakes because they're character-building and they build perspective and talent.

I so rarely turned down a role, that I can't say I have any regrets in that regard. There were many roles that I would rather not have done, but having a home and family requires that we sometimes do things we would rather not.

When I run into disappointment - say, for example, not getting a role I'd hoped for - I just try not to take it personally.

I was lucky enough to have a plethora of types of roles before and during the horror movie part of my career.

I was aware that I was not getting the good acting roles because I was either too handsome, too pretty or whatever. I was being judged in ways that left me nowhere to go. You have to be patient.

I loved playing a dramatic role. There's a side of me a lot of people don't know, and when I do dramatic roles, it just all comes out.

My acting career helped pull me through the rough times.
