There are definitely roles within this industry that are industry-related, but to be a good actor, you really have to want to act first. At the same time, my goal was never to go to Hollywood to make movies. I think if you come here with that attitude, then you've missed a few steps.

In the end of the day, you are human. Film is a job which is not an individual job; you have tons and tons of people behind you - you have a whole crew of people working. But, an actor is the face of a film, so you get all of the good things, but you get the bad things, also.

I'm not one of these million-dollar actors. I have always been just a working actor. I probably work more than I would like to.

The thing about being an actor is that every new job is a new challenge. Sometimes you'll have a shot, and it doesn't work. Sometimes it'll work better than you expected.

I'm lucky to just be a working actor. There are so many great actors out there and I'm just lucky to have gotten work.

I'm an actor because I love movies, and always have loved movies. I'm a film buff.

Directing a film requires a different set of skills. It is a difficult job, and I am happy being an actor.

Cinema is a director's medium, so you're saying, 'What do you want?' Being an actor is about adapting - physically and emotionally. If that means you have to look great for it and they can make you look great, then thank you. And if you have to have everything washed away, then I'm willing to do that too.

You work really hard to make it, and maybe you get some acclaim, but then you realize there are certain limitations as an actor.
