I had no intention of being an actor. I was quite good at it. I was pretty capable at other things but never any good at anything.

I never wanted to become an actor to be famous. I just wanted to be a good actor. It served me pretty well.

I was aware that I was not getting the good acting roles because I was either too handsome, too pretty or whatever. I was being judged in ways that left me nowhere to go. You have to be patient.

I became an actor because I couldn't not.

Without a great man writing and directing for me, I realised I was a mediocre movie star at best.

I didn't ever think about being an actor. But I fell in love with it when I realized how amazing, difficult, and interesting it is.

So the only things I was being allowed to audition for were small roles in comedies. It broke my heart. No one would see me for anything else. I knew, in order to open up my career, I had to leave or that's all I would ever be given.

I was never really a character actor - I was a leading man who was always cast as a character. I wanted to be Jack Nicholson or Jean Gabin.

I didn't become an actor to be famous. I genuinely love acting and never expected to make a penny at it.
