I really was a terrible actor. I did it for years in my twenties because it was like being at university again.

When I started out I was a failed actor.

When I first started out, I was a bad actor.

I was lousy in school. Real screwed-up. A moron. I was antisocial and didn't bother with the other kids. A really bad student. I didn't have any brains. I didn't know what I was doing there. That's why I became an actor.

I was a kid who went to film school and fell into acting.

I was a weak kid, not good at what all the boys at school were good at and I found that by acting, by being other people, I could liberate myself from those inadequacies.

I dropped out of school and I never took acting classes.

My acting career helped pull me through the rough times.

I'm a terrible actor. I'm still learning. When I first started, I wish I knew then to trust myself more, really. I was in a terrible panic in the early part of my career.
