Acting is pretty much my whole life.

My face is my career.

An actor really suffers when the director isn’t prepared because you start running out of time for the shoot and then have to do it fast.

I make my relationships at work.

I know I’ll work, but not when or where. I never know what to pack.

Acting is pretty much my whole life.

I don’t put together cars, I put together people.

I don’t like that I’m my own commodity, that I am what I sell.

That’s when the great stuff happens, when you’re not checking yourself all the time, being critical of yourself and what other people are doing.

Work is the most nourishing thing so far in my life.

It’s hard to regulate the speed at which you can achieve something creative and emotional.

And my first film was Carnal Knowledge, another amazing experience, largely because of Mike Nichols, who would tell me you can’t do anything wrong because you’re doing everything right.

I have fun at work.

People who are interested in the arts and theater are such a minority.

I only eat things that you don’t have to kill.

The Oscar nomination made me a recognizable name to other actors and people in general.

It’s very hard to remain a student in life.

I don’t feel that I have any great grasp of technique that I should pass along to people.
