I don’t care whether a role is 10 minutes long or two hours. And I don’t care whether my name is up there on top, either. Matter of fact, I’d rather have someone else get top billing; then if the picture bombs, he gets the blame, not me Picture Quote #1

The more we lie to ourselves about how we are contributing to our problems, the more harm we will cause to ourselves and our relationships because we will blame others for undesirable aspects of our lives instead of taking responsibility for our role Picture Quote #1

A baby is such a blank slate, like training the understudy for a role you’re planning to leave. You truly hope your replacement will do the play justice, but in secret you want future critics to say you played the character better Picture Quote #1

I’m not a Method actor. I don’t believe acting should be psychodrama. I look within myself and see what I can find to play the role with.

I’m glad to be a role model, but beyond that I’m a flawed human being, someone who continues to deal with my body image and what my purpose is on the planet Picture Quote #1
