- I asked an old preacher once how he got his call to the ministry. He said, 'Preaching came to me and I ran. But it caught me, so I preach.' I think acting is the same way. I always tell kids when I visit schools that I believe God gives us all a vocation, the thing we are put here on earth to do. The trick is to make your vocation your occupation, if you can.
- My sympathies have always been with the monster.
- Jesus is the most durable and resilient figure in history. Had he not existed, I doubt we would have had the guts to imagine him.
- My personal theory is that fear of death accounts for most of the real horror in the world; the cruelty, the coldness of heart, the emptiness of celebrity culture.
- An actor will end up with a bleeding heart if they're worth a damn. Being so many others leads one to the realization that there is no "other," only us in potentiality, for better or worse.
- Macabre with an undercurrent of melancholy is what the camera likes to see me do, because of my scarred face, and it's what I like to do on camera, because of my introspective nature. Life is a different thing, but the lens casts a spell, doesn't it? The camera sees into our dungeons and digs around in our dirt. So you better give it what it wants from you, or it will happily look elsewhere.
