I've suffered from an identity crisis my entire life. It's why I went into acting.

I'm a bit of a fraud, really, as I didn't study acting at a drama school.

I come from an acting family, my father was an actor, and I had to fight my way and just create my own identity.

I had a head start in acting. Because of my parents, I had a SAG card, an agent and a recognizable name. But I knew if I screwed up, people would never forget. I'd be dead.

I've been acting for a long time, and I've done a lot of things, and I've been maintaining my anonymity pretty well. I get recognized once a week, at most, here and there, so I'm reluctant to give that up.

I know very little about acting. I'm just an incredibly gifted faker.

Until I came out, my acting was all about disguise, and thereafter it became about telling the truth.

Never in my short career, I've never had that experience where I wasn't sure if I was acting or if it was real.

Sometimes people know I am an actor but are not really sure what I have been in.

When I started acting, it was like a double identity crisis - your basic crisis, compounded by people saying, 'there goes Robards' kid, Bacall's kid.' Now I realize, sure, that gets your foot in the door, but once it's there, it's your foot. I'm not bothered anymore. I'm confident of my abilities.
