I Became An Actor Because

I Was Called 'dumbo,' Like The Elephant, As A Child Because I Couldn't Understand Things At School.

If You Do Things, Whether It's Acting Or Music Or Painting, Do It Without Fear - That's My Philosophy. Because Nobody Can Arrest You And Put You In Jail If You Paint Badly, So There's Nothing To Lose.

I Never Make Conscious Decisions.

The Trick Is Not To Get Too Fanatical About Getting The Accent Too Accurate Because Then That Becomes A Mask. What I Try To Do Is Just Painting And Sketching Some Of The Sounds Without Obliterating My Own Voice.

I Love The Hour In Makeup. It Gives You Time To Think And Have A Cup Of Coffee. It's My Favorite Part Of The Day.
