No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.

I became an actor and because I had success as an actor I became famous. I was acting for quite a while before I got famous television made me famous. I guess that it's television that is responsible for everybody's desire to be famous.

When I was a kid the idea of why I wanted acting to be the thing I do for the rest of my life was different. It was Oh yeah I'll get girls and be famous.

I'm terrified of being too famous. What I'm really afraid of is that the audiences will go into the theater and not be able to forget that it's me that fame will stand in the way of my acting. I want to keep being able to change into different shapes and different personalities.

I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.

I get to meet fantastic people and I get to go through so many emotions. For me I have a craving for that. When I'm acting I feel great. It's not to be famous.

For me I never never from the moment I started acting had a desire to be famous.

There is less pressure as a character actor. It generally means that you will be acting for all of your life which is my intention. It is not my intention to just be a rich and famous person that would be pretty boring.

Acting is not about being famous it's about exploring the human soul.

I've always wanted to get into acting ever since I was younger. I'd put on shows for my family and run around play dress-up all the time. I think I was 4 when I told them I wanted to do movies.
