There are times when I don't take roles because I don't want to be perceived a certain way.

I don't want to be a bad role model.

Never jeopardize who you are for a role. Now, I'm not saying you should never change for a role, because the fun of being different characters is adapting different nuances and different parts of the character, but never jeopardize your moral compass or anything like that to have a role.

I really don't make a concerted effort to try to find a type of role.

I think each role takes a little from you and circles around you for the rest of your life. I don't think you ever abandon any of them.

If I don't believe in a role, I can't pull it off.

With any role, you're extending yourself and acting out things that never happened to you.

I choose roles that are not me.
