As an actor, you always want to feel like what you're doing is making a difference to the story.

I've had some ambivalent feelings about being an actor. I don't know that I've ever been totally and completely comfortable with it.

For me, every opportunity is a golden opportunity, so I just need to work as hard as I can to maintain credibility and respect and hopefully people enjoy watching me as an actor.

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.

The thing about being an actor is that every new job is a new challenge. Sometimes you'll have a shot, and it doesn't work. Sometimes it'll work better than you expected.

At some point, you're just happy to be a working actor, but to be able to do it with people you really love and enjoy spending time with, it's just such a rare thing. You hear so many horror stories.

One of the great things about my job is I get to do all of these things that I may not experience had I not been an actor.

As you get older and ease your way into being a character actor you have to be comfortable with where you are in life and career, and I'm very comfortable with what I'm doing - working on projects I'm proud of.

I just don't believe you're capable of being an actor unless you have a desire to experience your emotions in a public way.

I have no issue with being a character actor. If you've been around enough that people are able to segregate you into that category, it means you're working. So that's good!
