“When you're a young actor, you're looking for roles that will furnish some sort of validation.”

“I've been lucky enough to have a career that has been incredibly varied.”

“I was in the school plays, I was in the school band, I was in the school choir. I was a joiner.”

“I'm not a big fan of the fame thing. I don't know that I'm very good at it.”

“I think the best thing about being an actor is that you get to be other people.”

“I did an interview once and I was talking to the journalist about my wife and my children. And I think, when I look back, I was probably being a bit of a bore.”

“You want to do things that you're passionate about. I'm not a big fan of just doing things to do them.”

“I have no idea what my best work is. I'm not a good judge of my own work.”

“The great thing about being an actor is that you can do a lot of things that you would never do in real life.”

“Directing is a lot of fun, but it's also a lot of work. You have to be very organized. You have to have a vision.”

“I've been very fortunate. I've been able to do a lot of different kinds of work. I've been able to work with a lot of great people.”

“It's a wonderful thing to be able to do what you love to do, and I'm very fortunate to be able to do that.”
