No actor wants to choose - they just want all of the options available to them all the time; we tend to be pretty greedy.

Actors make choices for different reasons.

Actors get pigeonholed very quickly, particularly movie actors. In the theater, one is more used to casting people against type and trusting that their talent and skill will get them through.

Casting a film, you can have the greatest actors in a film and it doesn't work. It's a combination of all of the elements.

There are a lot of people out there who offer roles to actors because they'll elevate their movie to a place the movie would never reach.

Oftentimes, actors don't have the luxury of picking their part. You go from one project to the next, and you hope that you find one that fits you and that you're suited for, and then they see that you're fit for it.

I choose movies, I never choose roles. I look at the script. I look at the director. I look at the other actors - and then the role.

People imagine that actors are being offered everything and you are not. So things come in and sometimes there are things that I want and can't get a meeting on, or go to a different actors.

Movies are in a much longer production conversation before an actor is even involved. I always thought of actors as the last piece of the puzzle - so you're a tool.
