Quotes:
  • Someday I'd like a part where I can lean my elbow against a mantlepiece and have a cocktail.
  • Acting is the easiest thing I've done, I guess that's why I'm stuck with it.
  • Maybe I'm too masculine. Casting directors cast in their own, or an idealized image. Maybe I don't look like anybody's ideal.
  • I guess I look like a rock quarry that someone has dynamited.
