I didn't care about being the 'star.' I just wanted to make a living and have a consistent career.

It's never been important to be a huge star or to have some breakout role. If you're the lead, you get a lot more screen time and you get a lot more chances to develop that character more thoroughly than you would if you do it in a little supporting part.

I don't think I'm a star. I just love to act. I'm not thinking I'm even close to where I want to be.

I suppose I am reluctant about being any sort of 'star' and I didn't particularly want to be portrayed as one.

I don't want to be a star. If you have to label me anything, I'm an actor - I guess. A journeyman actor. I think 'star' is what you call actors who can't act.

I don't consider myself a star.

You have to know exactly what you want out of your career. If you want to be a star, you don't bother with other things.

If you work with big stars, then they become the lead actors. It's not that I don't want to do films with big stars, but I would rather do the films where I get the title roles.

What I've realized, and had to become comfortable with, is that I'm just, I don't think, a star. I'm an actor.

In order to be a star performer you have to have someone to play against.
