“You can't do good work if you're not relaxed.”

“I don't think I'm a Method actor. I'm a nuts-and-bolts actor. I just try to tell the truth.”

“I think the best actors are the most generous, the most open.”

“I've always been a guy who's pretty hard on himself.”

“You have to have a certain amount of faith in your own instincts.”

“Acting is a great gig. It's so much fun. But it's a job.”
