I just don't get invited to the same dinner parties I used to like to go to.
And, more than anything else, what I liked about it - which doesn't work for all actors - was the reflective nature, the self-reflection.
I started taking acting classes because I had fooled around with it in college and I had received some encouragement and liked it.
Two, I actually learned a lot of things that served me very well when it came to repeating performances on stage, because it is a craft and you do need a technique for it.
If you don't think you want to go on a train and read the paper every day and work from nine to six at night, there was something about the uncertainty when I was younger which was very attractive
I've seen people with a tremendous amount of educational background in the field not turn out to be terribly good actors, and I've seen people with no education in the field turn out to be people that I admire quite a bit

Anyone who devotes time and attention to what makes people tick, to me, is a smart person.

I'm a 9/11 Republican.
I do believe all actors are smart.
I started getting jobs, and I thought it was going to be real easy.
