When I decided I wanted to be an actor, I said I wanted to work with quality actors and directors.

I think I am a much better actor than I have allowed myself to be.

As a director/writer/producer, all you ever want is to work with actors who make you look better, who make the work you do seem as good as it can be and even better than it is.

I've been fortunate to work with several actors and directors who I look up to, and learned from each of them.

I'm a good actor in that sense for directors because I always do what they say.

I've learned so many things from directors in my acting career. There are even some things I've learned that I didn't want to do. There are those directors who've really made me shine and others who've made me opaque.

Well, I always try to look at my characters as being better than I am. That's one of the reasons I guess I became an actor - because you get to create a persona that's bigger or better or more interesting than your own.

I think, frankly, that I'm a better director than I was an actor.

I still think of myself as a stage actor. When I do film and television I try to implement what I was taught to do in theatre, to try to stretch into characters that are far from myself.
