The truth is that filmmaking is not really an actor's medium; it's really a director's medium, so all I can really control is the character that I'm playing. So I try to look for characters that are interesting and engaging and different than what I've done before and hopefully it becomes a good movie.

I think any actor hopes to have variety and range in what they do. Everybody has a certain range, so you take on roles to expand that the best you can... See things a little differently and whatnot.

All actors are looking for that role that's going to define who they are. When it happens, it's a good thing.

I don't see money or a particular status as an actor as a goal, but I want to do the best work I can in as interesting a range of roles as I can.

Roles make the actor.

As an actor, you always want to find a piece of who you are in every role you take on.

I think actors are divided into two groups: one that wants to be an actor to become famous and rich, and the other that wants to be an actor because they have to be. I'm more in the second group.

There's a lot of actors out there or people who want to be actors. It's unique to find somebody that, you know, needs to be an actor.

As an actor, all you want to do is to work and do good work.

I'd prefer to go under the radar and just do the acting without being famous for it.
