One of the things that is assumed about actors is that they are extrovert, which is almost never the case, in my experience.
christmas auditions actors
It can't be overstated how wonderful it is not to have to audition any more. Any actor will tell you, it's like Christmas.

You can ruin your life wanting to be an actor.
odds long actors
I'm always happy when actors get rich, because the odds on it are so long!
home thinking actors
Actors always talk about taking their work home and I always think: 'What are you on? You just turn it off. You are at work and then you go home.'
auditions actors really-happy
If you ask any actor "What single thing would make you really, really happy?" Among the top five things they'd say is not having to audition anymore.
great lots parts
The great thing about animation is it's like the radio. I used to do lots of radio when I was a kid, and you get to play parts you would never get to play ordinarily.
man worked
I've worked with Len Wiseman before, on the 'Underworld' series, in which I was a vampire. The first two of those were his first two films. And I admire him beyond measure. I think he's tremendous, as a man and as a director.

I've never been a great enthusiast about how I look and I am very... when I was young I had a real anti-talent for inventing myself as unappealing - craven and unremarkable.

A way of describing performances that I admire is that there is an absence of careerism. It's a clumsy way of describing it but it sort of does it for me.

Anti-Semitism and Fascism have a long, mysterious, bewildering, poisonous and vile history and it's not exclusive to the Germans.

I'm not a World War II buff. I know a little bit about it, I was taught the other side of the story in school, so it was unfamiliar to me, the idea of a German resistance, and yet it was considerable.
soul black enthusiasm
I like American black soul music, that was my first big enthusiasm.
