I always remember is that no matter how good I might be in a movie, I'll never be any better. It's frozen. But in theatre I can be better tomorrow night, I can be better the night after that and I can be better in a week. The journey you go through as an actor is incredible.
Theatre is alive and it is now, and then it's gone.
You can't win a marathon without putting some bandaids on your nipples!
Studios and networks who ignore either shift — whether the increasing sophistication of storytelling, or the constantly shifting sands of technological advancement — will be left behind,
I mean we all played as kids. You play games, you take on different characters, you imitate; the fun and the love of play has never left me.
For me, coming to work every day has turned out to be exactly what I hoped it would be.
It's much more interesting when you go to different places - make a left turn when nobody expects you to make a left turn, and make a right when nobody expects you to do that.
I'm aware that, from the outside, this looks like I've got quite an ego.
I've been on sets where things weren't relaxed because someone was creating tension for no reason.
I'm not someone who's led my life trying to get publicity; I'd rather do my work and go home.
My job consists of basically masking my contempt for the assholes in charge, and, at least once a day, retiring to the men's room so I can jerk off while I fantasize about a life that doesn't so closely resemble Hell.
Success is like death. The more successful you become, the higher the houses in the hills get and the higher the fences get.
There are ways in which you can make sure that even if people come to the theatre because they know an actor or actress, by the end, theyve forgotten that, and they leave going, Wow - what an amazing play.
I always thought that, in a way, you want your Superman to be a total unknown.
