Inevitably People Will Get Tired Of Me.

This Whole Notion Of The Acting Career As A Monopoly Where You Rise To Power... It Doesn't Really Work That Way. I Don't Ever Really Feel Powerful In Any Way. It's Kind Of The Same Thing It's Always Been: You Just Figure Out What You Want To Do And You Do It.

Humility In This Business [acting] Isn't Just A Matter Of Being Polite, It's Kind Of A Matter Of Survival. You Can't Ever Afford To Think That You're The Bee's Knees, Because You Could Always Afford To Be Better. You Have To Always Be Searching For Something Better.

It's Obviously A Lot Harder To Try And Be A Good Guy Than It Is To Be A Bad Guy. The World Is A Fundamentally Evil Place, It Seems Like. So In Order To Be A Good Person, You Have To Fight Temptation And Vice.

Honestly, As Hard A Profession As Acting Is, I Think Music Is Even Harder. Acting, You're Like A Leech, Because Someone Else Does The Hard Part For You. They Write It For You, Then The Director Tells You What To Do. You Really Just Need To Know How To Pay Attention, Follow Instructions.

My Dad Used To Say, 'you Have To Become Part Of The Machine To Beat The Machine,' And There's Some Validity In It. But Honestly, Even When I'm Inside The Machine, You Still See Me. I Stick Out A Little Bit.
