I've been around where I knew other actors were going to steal the scene, and I don't compete with them.

I've been stealing scenes all my life.

As an actor, it's my job to make everything interesting and exciting and new. If I'm not doing my job well, then I'm stealing.

It's amazing that for actors mostly, it's a risk to attach yourself to a film that you don't know whether or not it's going to even be made and if you sign on, in doing so, who else is going to be in the movie with you.

As an actor, I don't want to do something which I have already done before.

I've always been in the middle of making my own movies, so taking acting jobs that take me away from that has been impossible.

Perhaps I'm not a good actor, but I would be even worse at doing anything else.

I'd never ask an actor to do something I couldn't do - not that I'm the best actor in the world - but if I can do it, then I know that anyone I hire can do these things.

Fortunately and unfortunately, people don't see me as a character actor. They see me as a leading man or nothing, which makes it really hard to get work.

I don't know if you can ever steal a scene from Louis C.K. or Melissa McCarthy. I think that's kind of impossible.
