There's an impression that actors make a lot of choices. I just take what's there.

I've seen many actors go awry by making the wrong choices early on.

Theater actors like to change character roles. They don't like to always do the same thing.

I like working with actors who make choices. Whether they get their ideas from me or from themselves, I want them to own all the choices so I can take my hand out of it.

Because actors don't get to pick movies; movies pick the actors.

I have a friend who says that roles choose you at the time that you need them most, and you have to believe, as an actor, if you didn't get a part that you really, really wanted, and it went to someone else, it was because it was theirs to begin with.

Any actor who tells you that he makes choices, absolutely, is wrong. You find work and work finds you.

Some actors give you what you want. Some you have to make do what you want.
