I love working with the right actor, and if the right actor happens to be unknown, that should be allowed, too, I think.

At one time I thought he wanted to be an actor. He had certain qualifications, including no money and a total lack of responsibility.

As an actor, you never know where the work's going to come, so you have to be flexible about it.

From my experience, I think that every actor has to make sure that they're in charge of their own career somehow or other.

As far as I'm concerned... there's a side to an actor that wants to go on and play a thousand different roles.

It's a question of why they come for your advice. Whatever I tell you, it doesn't matter, it is completely irrelevant in a way. I know so many actors who were discouraged and put that aside. You will get half-baked opinions.

I think any actor hopes to have variety and range in what they do. Everybody has a certain range, so you take on roles to expand that the best you can... See things a little differently and whatnot.

It's a risk casting anyone against type or what they're known to do. But there's one thing better than having a great actor, which is having a great actor who's never done what you're asking him to do. He's hungry to get out of the trailer every day and hungry to test himself.
