I Want To Be A Part Of

My Mother Told Me I Was Begging Her To Be An Actor When I Was Four. My Father And My Grandfather Saw At Least One Or Two Movies A Week; They Were Film Buffs, So I Guess It Just Rubbed Off On Me.

Acting Is Ephemeral. It's Not Like Making A Painting That Lasts Forever. You're Doing Something, And The Very Action Which Comes And Goes, Is Being Demonstrated In Front Of You. Within That Process, You're Trying To Go Against The Grain.

It Was Extremely Useful To Grow Up In Front Of The Camera. It Gives The Camera No Significance. I Think It Helped Me Have Perspective On Things. The Attraction That Hollywood Can Have, I Feel Like I'm Over That. Instead I Just Concentrate On Acting.

What An Actor Says Is Much, Much Less Important Than A Life, So That's The Great Use For Improvisation; You Go, You Find The Life And Then You Add The Words.

There's The Concept That If I Do This Big Budget Project, Then That Will Help Me Do The Things I Really Want To Do And Bring More Money To Those Films.
