- I've always been a sucker for those underdog stories. The whole idea...going up against insurmountable odds, persevering and achieving the near-impossible is somewhat inspiring in times of darkness I suppose. They say luck is when opportunity meets preparation. The opportunities came because I never gave up, developed the chops and when I was ready for them...I took 'em and never gave any less than 183%. Minimum.
- I don't believe in method acting. But I do believe in the method behind method acting. Sir Laurence Olivier, Sir Alec Guiness, Peter Sellers, Gary Oldman, Geoffrey Rush or Johnny Depp lose themselves in a role and commit to each character. Then, once the day is finished, you can go out and have a cup of coffee and talk about something other than acting.
- As an actor, I'm not splitting the atom, reinventing the wheel or curing a debilitating disease. I entertain. Pure and simple. I give others (and myself) joy by giving of my own self in return. Actors who think that their profession, or even worse... celebrity, makes them more important than anyone else in this world, are in desperate need to get over themselves. Pure ego & hubris. But that's the irony isn't it? To get over yourself even though you're a self-aggrandizing bullshit artist.
- My Daughter Gracie is such an important part of my life. Acting, entertaining and sacrificing time from her to help others escape for a little while, is what I do, but a loving Father is who I am. I love her, am thankful for her and my supportive Family, extended and otherwise, who help take care of her, and well, and me. Jenny, my Bestie, takes care of me better than anyone. My Jenny. And pie. I love pie too.
- I always give everything I have and then some to every performance, even when its the smallest role. The same goes for being as professional and cordial as I can be to others in the cast and crew. You never know who you're gonna work with later and the one time you're an annoying prick will come back and bite you in the ass.
