Willem Dafoe

Emotionally men and women are different, but only as a result of the physical differences. It all comes back to our bodies.
Willem Dafoe
Image
As you get older, you suffer fools less easily. That's why there's all those cranky character actors. I'm an exception. I'm a sweetheart.
Willem Dafoe

I want to work with people who are good at what they do, and people who are passionate.
Willem Dafoe

The mask can be a limitation, but you just deal with it. You do get superhuman strength and pumpkin bombs and all this other stuff to express yourself with.'
Willem Dafoe
Image
One of the pleasures of being an actor is quite simply taking a walk in someone else's shoes. And when I look at the roles I've played, I'm kind of amazed at all the wonderful adventures I've had and the different things I've learned.
Willem Dafoe
Image
All the time, as an actor, you want to be asking what's next and where things are going. If you're not asking those questions, you're not growing.
Willem Dafoe
Image
I am confident only when I am constantly in motion. Between projects, the doubt creeps in.
