People say they love the characters I've chosen in my career. But I didn't choose anything. I just happened to be working and these were offered to me.

Up to that point I never really knew what my character would be expected to do, and prior to accepting the job I had actually turned down the role three times before finally giving in.

I know that some of the characters I played were trash. But then, I chose to take up those roles, as I enjoyed doing them.

I've been very lucky not to have turned down too many roles that I've later regretted.

In every character you play, as much as you hate to admit it as an actor, but there's an element of you that you bring to it.

I so rarely turned down a role, that I can't say I have any regrets in that regard. There were many roles that I would rather not have done, but having a home and family requires that we sometimes do things we would rather not.

Most actors feel only one way. We're just grateful to have a job.

I only work with actors who take full responsibility for their characters.

I'm not interested in characters who aren't broken. I'm not interested in happy people. It just doesn't draw me as a writer.
