My self-confidence didn't come from my appearance, it came from other things that I did. But certainly not my appearance.
I've never worked with a tail, that I can remember. But there's so much I can't remember.
My whole mantra is, "Go big or go home." I don't want to just play a guy who dresses up. I want to play the person who threw down.
I just think that there are those people that their resolve is strengthened by what it is that's keeping them down, and there are some people that will buckle under it. You never know which one is which until you get into the eighth or ninth round of the fight.
I've been a professional actor for almost 40 years.
I think now that I'm in the autumn of my life, and I'm getting a chance of having an overview and looking at the shape of how things happen, when things happen, why things happen, I think it was fitting that I spent most of my early career doing mask work, because I just don't think I was that comfortable in my own skin.
I'm just trying to make up for lost times, and I have total awareness that when the work is coming it doesn't mean it's going to continue to come, so I'm taking advantage of this phenomenal period that I'm in now, to its fullest.
I'll walk through fire to do what I do because the movie business, when it's right, is the coolest art form ever invented.
Living off the grid and being kind of an outlaw brings a dangerous reality.
People are doing sitcoms on stage rather than theater. You go to the theater, and it`s as if you were watching a sitcom at 8:30 on Channel 4.
I've certainly been very blessed with opportunity.
I love to continue to challenge myself and put myself in situations that are slightly uncomfortable.
I've been busy and not busy, and busy is better. I've been busy, but I went through a lot of periods where it was lean for a lot of times.
You draw on your own childhood every time you tee it up as an actor.
