As you get older and ease your way into being a character actor you have to be comfortable with where you are in life and career, and I'm very comfortable with what I'm doing - working on projects I'm proud of.

I'm a character actor.

What's great about being a character actor is you know that you can survive forever. It's not about the gloss of your eyebrows.

To be a character actor is to be open, to be a chameleon.

The people I've respected most in the industry over the years - Paul Newman, for instance. I just loved the way he handled growing old on-screen. It's understanding that you're now basically a character actor. Which is fine, but you have to pay attention to it.

I am a character actor. I'm not a presence actor. And those exist all over the place.
