This Whole Notion Of The Acting Career

Everything That Happens On Wall Street Only Fortifies My Opinion That There Is In Fact A More Ludicrous Industry Than The Entertainment Industry.

I Like To Play Characters That Get To Do It All - To Have A Bit Of Comedy Here And A Bit Of Pathos Here And A Bit Of Suspense Here, That's What's Fun.

I Guess If There's One Thing That Might Surprise People About Me, It's That I'm Very Obedient. I'm Kind Of Like A Dog. I Look At Acting As Kind Of A Service Industry. You're There To Serve The Writer And The Director. I Don't Really Look At It As An Act Of Self-expression, Like I'm Going To Say What's On My Mind.

That Could Sound Arrogant, I Guess, But Sometimes I Feel Like I Have A Bit Of A Zelig Thing. I'll Blend In Wherever. I'm From The South, So I'll Have A Southern Accent When I'm Home. But If I'm Up Here In New York, I Have A British Accent.

I Enjoyed Living In Chicago And Doing Plays For Little Or No Money. I Never Actually Thought That I Would Leave Chicago, Originally. I Wasn't One Of Those People That Had A Plan To Pack Up The Van And Drive Out To Hollywood. I Didn't Want To.
