Look at the people who are coming to television Ridley Scott, Ang Lee or Guillermo del Toro - all these great filmmakers - actively put themselves back into TV. That's because the environment is very encouraging for bold storytelling, storytelling that you've never seen before.
I like doing voiceover work. I just like it in general, because you're constantly working on a very first-instinct level. You show up, you get in front of the microphone, you look at the lines, you say the lines, and then you move on. You work on a really primal level, is what I'm saying. You don't have to shave. You don't even have to wear pants. But, uh, that wasn't your question.
Almost all of your life is lived by the seat of your pants, one unexpected event crashing into another, with no pattern or reason, and then you finally reach a point, around my age, where you spend more time than ever looking back. Why did this happen? Look where that led? You see the shape of things.
The thing that's cool about the recording booth is that it's so perfunctory, so cut-to-the-chase.
I've never been pigeonholed and I've experienced so many different kinds of skin - what man will do and won't do, what you should do and shouldn't do. This is what's exciting about being an actor; where philosophy majors sit in classrooms or write books about human behavior, we're actually acting them out in front of cameras.
So much of my aesthetic was formed by my dad.
You do what you gotta do. This is not heart surgery. I'm not curing cancer. I'm just trying to put my kids through school.
Yeah, it's nice to get paid for therapy rather than having to pay $240 an hour for it.
You can change the circumstances but you can never change man's inner nature.
Well, I love acting, and I love acting quick.
You know, I don't read the blogs, or go on the internet, and I really just don't know what people are saying because... well I guess I'm afraid to.
Season 4 can be deadly for a show that's been a hit show.
There are always great deals of humanity in the characters that have been offered to me.
Let me put it this way: I definitely need to understand the villains I play. The best cause pain to anesthetize themselves against their own pain.
