Yeah, I do feel badly sometimes, not for whose coming up and getting roles I'm not right for anymore but the people I compete with, who range from Uma Thurman on up.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think every role that I go up for is daunting.
I most often land up taking up the roles that I most detest.
I tend to turn down roles that are too much like me, what I think is most like me anyhow, because I'm me all the time and I'm sick of it.
The honest truth is - and I have felt this way forever - is my largest competitor is myself. Always. I am intimidated by my own hang-ups about acting more so than anything, any part, any director.
When I find a role I want to play, I just go after it.
I don't think I've ever had a real desire to pick out any particular role - I just see what comes up.
The kind of role I play is like an offensive lineman; doing a good job but not being noticed. I feel sorry for myself sometimes. But as long as the end result is there, I can dig it.
I don't sit around thinking about my titles and roles; I just do what feels right.
It's kind of my biggest fear: thinking I know somebody I'm going to be, and then I don't. It's probably only happened to me once or twice, but that was enough for me to definitely not do a role unless I 100% can be that person.
I'm a stand-up. I'm never worried about getting my next role. That's never distressing to me.
