If I had gone to drama school, I wouldn't be sitting here now because it would have blanded me out; it would have just turned me into another actor.

I think a lot of actors feel like outsiders or miscreants. This profession provides an opportunity to play out all the different parts of ourselves.

I would tell anyone who wanted to be an actor not to bother with drama school.

I've always felt like the reason I became an actor is because I look for more high drama than what I had at home.

As a professional actor, I don't have much choice about what I've gotten into. I tend to be cast in comedies and I'm fine with that.

I think part of the fun of being an actor is getting to work with different directors and seeing their take on it, what they're passionate about. They all have different ideas about your character.

Theater actors like to change character roles. They don't like to always do the same thing.

The whole point about becoming an actor is variety and changing roles.

The kind of actors I admire move through different characters and genres.

There are lots of people in the world who do have the advantage of going to a good drama school and just decide that they want to be actors. There's nothing wrong with an untrained actor; they have to get their training somehow, they have to learn.
