I've never been pigeonholed and I've experienced so many different kinds of skin - what man will do and won't do, what you should do and shouldn't do. This is what's exciting about being an actor; where philosophy majors sit in classrooms or write books about human behavior, we're actually acting them out in front of cameras.
I love to continue to challenge myself and put myself in situations that are slightly uncomfortable.
The thing that's cool about the recording booth is that it's so perfunctory, so cut-to-the-chase.
So much of my aesthetic was formed by my dad.
You do what you gotta do. This is not heart surgery. I'm not curing cancer. I'm just trying to put my kids through school.
Yeah, it's nice to get paid for therapy rather than having to pay $240 an hour for it.
You can change the circumstances but you can never change man's inner nature.
Well, I love acting, and I love acting quick.
You know, I don't read the blogs, or go on the internet, and I really just don't know what people are saying because... well I guess I'm afraid to.
Season 4 can be deadly for a show that's been a hit show.
There are always great deals of humanity in the characters that have been offered to me.
Let me put it this way: I definitely need to understand the villains I play. The best cause pain to anesthetize themselves against their own pain.
Really, I was such a late bloomer, I really didn't learn how to be me until I was in my late '40s, which is when I started playing roles that were closer to me.
I think in the early part of my career, the roles were so disparate that it never gave anybody an opportunity to understand my essence and what I would be good at doing, as opposed to what I would not be good at doing, so these little moments of beautiful things that were happening to me were consistent, but very few and very far between.
