I Really Like Acting Because

I Would Get Songs Sung To Me, Like 'old Man River, 'or Kids Would Call Me Mississippi And Things Like That. At The Time, I Wished I Had A Name That Blended In More With My Surroundings. Now, Though, I've Really Learned To Love It. From Fifteen, I Really Liked It. It Felt Appropriate. Before That, I Don't Think It Quite Fitted Me. I Had To Grow Into It.

It's A Great Feeling To Think That I Can Be A Friend To So Many People Through My Movies.

When I Was Younger, I Was Worried About How Others Viewed Me And If I Was Good Enough. I Realize Now That You Can't Mold An Image Or Try To Be Something That You Are Not. As Far As Being An Actor Is Concerned, Your Work Really Speaks For Itself.

Music Is A Hobby, Because I'm Not Making Any Money Out Of It, But I Put Just As Much Conviction Into That As I Do Into My Acting.

Everything Is Ironic To Me. There Are Moments I Find Hysterical, But I'm Probably The Only One Who Would Find That, Except For A Few People.
