“If you're a good actor, you're a character actor.”

“I'm not a movie star. I'm a character actor. I'm still a guy who gets to act, and I'm very fortunate to be able to do it.”

“I'd just like to be in films that I would like to see.”

“In the acting community, you're not going to find a more generous group of people.”

“The Coen Brothers are my favorite people to work with. They're my friends.”

“I'm not a real big fan of horror movies. I like fighting with the monsters, but I don't like being scared.”

“You learn to get by on the scraps that are left over. You're a chameleon, and you have to be one.”

“I used to be a bartender. It's a great job for an actor because you get to play a different role every night.”

“I'd rather be a working actor than a star.”

“There's a hole in my heart for New Orleans and it's not going to be filled.”

“I was never that confident in my looks.”

“I have a lot of regrets, but I'm not going to think of them as regrets.”

“I'm just a guy who's been lucky. I'm just a guy who's been given a lot of breaks.”

“I'm a work in progress, but I'm trying to be a better person.”
