Fear is going to be a player in your life, but you get to decide how much.

The wonderful thing about digital process is that I can be cast in films that I would never be cast in. If I have it in my soul to play the character it doesn't matter what my face looks like, or my age. It's really liberating.

I think we're past the time in history where you have to come out and say, I'm happy all the time! I'm a joker! I'm a crazy man! I think people understand that I can turn that switch on but that I'm also a sensitive, normal human being with feelings and I know how to express those too.
