No not pigeon holed me as an actor, or as a character, or as to what I could do - but what I would do... and the fact is the things you don't do are almost as important as as the things that you do.

I could be a star and maybe make lots of money, or I could change roles all the time and have a more interesting - and longer - career.

Every time I got paid, I would give my parents money. I would save some money, and I would have a little money to spend.

There are two jobs. There is being an actor, and there is being a celebrity. Some people are really good at both. Some people are really good celebrities and terrible actors, and some people are really good actors and terrible celebrities. Hopefully, I am a really good actor and an OK celebrity.

I get to choose things that interest me as opposed to trying to get any job that will have me, which for a vast majority of actors is the case.

So I do have to work, you know, and I find as many movies and TV shows that I can, because otherwise I wouldn't have an income.

My parents always said that I would be a lawyer or pilot or doctor - and I always just thought that's what I would do.

As a child I wanted to be everything from a doctor, lawyer, flight attendant to an IT pro- fessional and could never make up my mind. I figured as an actor I'd get to play all these professions.

I did a terrible television pilot that was so badly written and dumb that it became a turning point for me and I decided that I would never accept a job just because I needed the money.
