You know, I've had an incredible career and I'm blessed.

I love Bob Altman. I always admired him so much because I always thought he was a genuine voice.

I just take it as it comes, and if I'm not offered something, there's always a reason, and usually it's a pretty good one. I'm not worried about it. You know, I've had an incredible career, and I'm blessed.

I've always been one to do the work and just hone my craft.

Let's not get too precious about it: actors are not heart surgeons or brain surgeons. We are just entertaining people.

Different directors offer you different things, and it's not necessarily the most obvious things.

You can't hold back. You can't think of the subtleties of playing. You just have to get out and really bare it all, and hopefully you don't fall off the plank. And if you do, hey, pick yourself up, dust yourself down, and start all over again.

The most nurturing of directors can make you feel too comfortable, and you don't really push for that extra whatever.

I never feel I repeat myself. I really go out of my way to amuse myself. I would be bored stiff. If I feel the déjavu when I'm doing something, I stop and rethink and rework it.

If you look a little punkish, then they're going to give you the parts. And if you play an iconic villain early on in your career, you tend to get asked to play one over and over and over again.

I think we're all a little afraid of the dark. If you lived in the country, as I did, there's nothing quite like country dark, which was really black. And as a child, your imagination runs wild.

An actor cannot be a censor. I'm there to interpret.

The villains that I play, I always think that they are grounded, wonderful people with enormous intellects who are very exciting to spend an evening with. I never see them as bad people.

It's always a fascinating subject -- a serial killer let loose on a small community. It always holds, it's always scary.

I've tried it all. I'd love to do radio plays. I think that one should be open to everything and shouldn't limit oneself.

I'm from a country where acting is taken very seriously; it's a very serious profession.

I don't worry about whether I'm making a masterpiece, because I know that if you get just one of those in a lifetime, you should get down on your knees and say 'Thank you!'

One man can change the world with a bullet in the right place.

I'd love to do radio plays. I think that one should be open to everything and shouldn't limit oneself.

I just love a challenge, and always have, and will do anything to make it interesting. I'll try anything, really, as long as it's a challenge and you can have some fun doing it.
