I Hate Being An Actor,

Most Of The Books That I've Adapted I'm Doing Because I Love The Book And I Feel Like It's A Great Work Of Art In Itself, And When It's A Great Book I Feel As A Director Or A Writer That I Have A Responsibility To Rise To The Level Of The Original. It Makes Me Try To Reach Higher.

As An Actor In The Classroom, You're Revealing So Much, And Teachers Are, You Know, They're Just Critiquing Like A Painting Or A Piece Of Work; It's Like, It's You, And It's Your Emotions That They're Working With.

I Think As Far As Straight Actors Playing Gay Roles, "brokeback Mountain" Was A Big Breakthrough. I'm Pretty Sure When They Were Casting That Movie That - I Think The Story Is, Like You Know, 10 To 15 Other Actors Turned It Down.

In A Movie, A Book, Or A Play, A Character Doesn't Live In A Vacuum. She Is Subject To Pressures From The World Outside Of Her, Just Like We Are In Life. These Pressures And Circumstances Shape Character. Who Your Parents Are Determines Your Genetic Make Up: Your Skin Color, Your Sex, Your Height, Weight. Where You Are Raised Does Affect Your Worldview Either Positively Or Negatively, Your Accent. Your Economic Class Affects Where You Go To School, What You Eat, Where You Sleep.

I Don't Have Many Hobbies. If I Think Of Hobbies, Maybe Ping Pong. But I Don't Have A Desire To Get A Ping Pong Medal.
