I'm Not Just An Actor

It`s Always Been The Same For Me. I`ve Always Enjoyed Acting, And I Really Love Good Actors; They`re Such Unique Characters. I Wish I Could Tell Stories Well, Or Tell A Joke. Any Time Someone Can Do That It`s So Satisfying. Sean Penn, For Instance, Is A Really Good Actor, And He Can Tell A Good Joke Or Story. But It`s Hard To Do. Most Actors Have Special Talents That Make Them Attractive, But They`re Often Odd Characters.

The Trick To Being A Good Actor Is Getting So Involved In Your Character That The Camera Disappears, The 50 Bored Guys Eating Doughnuts Disappear, Friends Disappear. To Get To That Point When You Don't Have To Think About It, You're Just Acting And Reacting In Those Circumstances.

I'm Very Wary Of News On Television.

I Think Part Of My Reputation Has To Do With The Difficult Roles I've Played. Actors Do Tend To Get Identified With Their Characters.

There Is No Normal Life, There's Just Life. You Live It.
