Having Done Television For Almost 20 Years

The Last Thing I Want To Do Is Having Someone Get Behind A Montgomery Clift Biopic, And Then Just Do The First Script That Came Out. Sometimes It Takes A Long Time For These Things To Gestate. And I'm Only Going To Do It If It's The Right Story That's Told For The Right Reason, And That's Relevant To This Day And Age, As Much As It Pays Homage To Who This Man Was. Should That Happen During The Time When I'm Still Young Enough To Play Him, Perfect. And If Not, Hopefully Someone Else Will Get To Play Him Because I Do Think It's An Incredible Story.

What Is Ultimately Motivating The Character?

I Think Your Text [script] Is Everything; It's What Informs You; It's What Gives You The Given Circumstances. Then You Take That And You Add Your Own Creativity And Your Own Spin On Things And You Make It Personal. That's What Makes That Character And That Text Unique To You, When You Personalize It. I Think That's Where Your Job As An Actor Comes In.

You Can't Please Everybody. There's That Old Saying That There's No Sure Formula For Success, But The Only Sure Fire Formula For Failure Is To Try To Please Everyone. You're Not Going To Do That.

Anybody Who Is Rude To Anyone In The Service Industry Is Automatically Out.
