I always thought on my own that what is a huge part of being an actor, or what made me a better actor, was just really living life. Not being closed in on life, but being more open to experiences and to people and taking risks and exposing yourself to things.

I became an actor because I enjoy playing a variety of different people rather than playing one person for the rest of my career.

I enjoy being a character actor; I enjoy being different in everything. I want a private life; I want to be able to go to 7-11 and not get into a fight with a guy because he saw me in a movie, or not have people hitting on me simply because they saw me in a movie.

I'm an actor; I have made my living by acting, and I almost think I owe it to the public to express my feelings and not as a character on a screen but as myself.

I wanted to just surround myself with people who I think are better than I am, whether they're actors or directors or producers, so that I could learn from them.

Part of the reason of being an actor is you like playing other people's lives and exploring all the psychologies in that and the emotions.

I enjoy acting, and it's given me a ton of happiness and it's affected my life and my family's lives in ways that we just can't imagine.

You know, it's recently come into focus for me why I want to be an actor: It's because of the connection I feel to people.

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.

I only have an awareness of what I'm trying to achieve as an actor and what my job as the character is to service.
