The luxury of television is that you get more than one shot at who you think the guy is that you're playing.
I don't think that I've had a career like anyone else's, but there are hosts and hosts of actors whose careers I admire.
I will not do a role that I don't think I can do, that I'm not interested in, where there's no humanity, that doesn't have any kind of handle for me at all because I know I'll just stink the joint up.
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 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.
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.
