I Don't See Myself As Competing With

I Always Wonder About People's History And Their Lives, Especially People That Are A Little Bit More Distant, Who Obviously Have Had Some Kind Of A Thing And You Know There's Some Reason Why They're Not Able To Connect. It's Not Because They Don't Want To. They Don't Have The Ability.

I Think What's Interesting About The Whole Paparazzi Thing Is That Unless You're Brad Pitt Or Madonna, You Can Pretty Much Avoid It. You Know When You're Going To An Opening That You Will Be Photographed, So That's Fine. And You Know The Restaurants That Have Paparazzi, So You Don't Go To Them.

Some People Say Talent Is Energy And That's A Very Interesting Way Of Thinking About It. In Other Words, People With Talent Have A Lot Of Energy.

It's Always Tricky To Watch Yourself, Always. When I First Had To Watch Myself, It Was Really Hard Because I'd Done Quite A Few Plays And I've Never Seen Myself. So I Was Professional But I'd Never Watched Myself. So I Was Like Hearing You Know... I'm Sure You Guys Are All Much More Familiar With That Because Everybody Has A Phone, And Everyone's Taking Pictures Of Themselves And Making Movies Of Themselves. And So People Are More Accustomed To It Now. So I Had To Get Used To It Because There's A Lot To Be Learned, Of Course, As An Actor. When You Watch Yourself, You Learn A Lot.

We All Perform Our Lives In A Way. And The Actor Is A Perfect Metaphor To Get At That Theme Of "how Do We Find Our Authentic Selves?" And That We All - Whether We're Actors Or Not - Perform Ourselves. As A Way Of Searching. As A Way Of Fumbling Around And Trying To Say, Is This My Voice? Is This Who I Am?
