I wish I could say I had this master plan for a career, but I always thought acting was something I'd just do until I had a hit record.

I've never had a plan. You look for different actors you want to work with or different subjects you want to explore, or sometimes it's just a momentary fancy.

I'm not one of these actors who feels a pressing need to direct, and I have no plans to do it.

The god of theater laughs in your face at planning. You can't plan as an actor; there's no way, because so much of it is dependent on other people's choices and decisions that you're at the whim of fate, really.

I don't have a burning desire to act, strangely enough. I don't know that if I hadn't been an actor as a young person, I don't know that I ever would have chosen this because it's not really my personality.

Maybe it's because I've been an actor for such a long time, but I think, unless you're a big star, you don't really have much control over anything. I've never been able to make any plans.

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

I don't have any ambitions as an actor. I felt very uncomfortable doing it. The first take every day I'd open my mouth and no words would come out. I'd do a couple of takes and eventually I could run the lines.

I didn't have any desire to be an actor until right before I did it.

There is nothing I feel that connected or passionate about that would take me away from acting.
