“There are limits if I try to act from my own experience. You don’t have to actually kill somebody to play a murderer. I just absorb the character I have to play into my mind, which is just like a piece of white paper.”
“Most actors spend a lot of time training themselves to be an actor. And I kind of didn't do that. I just started doin' it in front of an audience and had to deliver.”
“It’s interesting for me to always make myself look very different. Actually, it’s great because it means nobody ever recognizes me. Also, it means that I’m not going to get typecast with the same look. I actually feel it’s quite a blessing. So, I love it when they slap on the old slab. When I watch myself in movies I go, 'My God, it doesn’t even look like me.' But that’s a good thing.”
“If I had not passed through trial - through passion, one could say - through these years so painful and so rich, I don't believe I could take on my life and my career as I do today.”
