I See Myself As A Student. I Would Never Call Myself A Master Or A Maestro. If You Take The Path Of The Student, That Means You Have To Try A Little Bit Of Everything In Hopes That You're Going To Learn Something Or Strike Some Kind Of New Note, Expression In The Process. I'm Not Going For Grades; I'm Going For An Education. I'm Going To Continue Experimenting And Trying New Things To Try To Evolve And Learn.

The Only Way The Devil Really Exists In My Opinion... Is In Interactions With People Who Don't Walk The Walk And Talk The Talk; People Who Act One Way, Or Talk One Way And Then Do Another. Those Are The Deals With The Devil. I Don't See The Devil As Somebody Who Is A Horned, Goateed Guy With A Fork In His Hand That's There To Continuously Stab Me And Send My Soul To Hell. I Don't See It That Way At All.

I Certainly Would Never Overstep My Bounds And Make Suggestions To A Director. As An Actor I'm Trying To Fit To The Best Of My Abilities Within The Director's Vision, And Trying To Find Some Happy Rapport Where We Can Both Bring Something To It That's Fresh. Usually I've Been Lucky In Working With Directors Who Have Trusted My Instincts.
