Anthony LaPaglia

“I'm not a big fan of the star system. I like to see movies with actors who are right for the part. And that's not always the biggest star.”

“I'm actually a very quiet person. I'm not the guy who wants to be in the spotlight.”

“I think that if you're a good actor, you should be able to play any role. I don't believe in typecasting.”

“I think the fact that I'm an actor is a real freak of nature. Because I'm a very shy person. I'm not a natural showman.”

“Soccer was my first love. If I could have made a living out of it, I would have.”

“The roles I'm attracted to are the ones that are challenging, that make me think, that make me stretch as an actor.”

“As an actor, you're always playing a character. For me, it was always a therapeutic thing. I got to express things that I couldn't express in my own life.”

“I think the key to longevity in this business is versatility.”
