I've never had to fight for a role. Call it my ego or my self-respect, but I won't pick up the phone and call a producer and fight or ask for a role. That's not me. I've always got the best, and my work speaks for itself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I get along great with directors, but I think some producers would tell you I'm a pain. They may say I'm tough to work with, but I have a great passion for what I do. I believe in fighting for it.
I think every role you get is going to be a powerful one. As long as you go in with the mindset of, 'Yeah, I'm going to make the most of this.' So that's the kind of attitude I take into each role that I play.
There are times when I don't take roles because I don't want to be perceived a certain way.
When you get a role, you completely lose yourself in it. That's one of the great things about acting - letting yourself go.
If I had my way, I would never do a leading role.
Every role you do is kind of a side of yourself. That's why they give you the part.
I really have no ulterior motive in taking on certain roles. I have no larger issue that I really want to show people. I'm an actor, that's all. I just do what I do.
Ninety percent of my roles, I've had to fight for. It's only a really small percentage of people who get handed roles.
When I see a role I want, I fight for it.
The best roles you have to fight for. You have to really want to do it and you have to go after it.
