T.V.'s weird because it's both the greatest gig as an actor potentially because it can be all this work for all this time, but there are so many question marks at every stage of the process.

You never stop thinking about technique, but really, the reason we're actors is because of the sheer joy of those few moments you get every now and again where you're totally present. The rest is just struggle and misery.

The notion of overnight stardom is really dangerous. For almost every person who has success in this business, there are years and years of hard work to get there. To have longevity, you really have to train, and you really have to work.

The greatest hits in some weird way marks the end of something.

Every time I work, it's an educational process because I learn by watching other actors. My career is always going to be an ongoing study.

I pretty much give both barrels every time I walk on stage.
