Roles Quotes

I don’t get offered many dramatic roles. As soon as my face pops up in a movie, everyone knows I’m the funny guy Picture Quote #1

Character roles only indicate that they’re very different from who you are as a person, and for me, it’s fun hiding behind characters that are so unlike who I am Picture Quote #1

My roles are in some way like children to me. You don’t ever really want to scrape one off your shoe Picture Quote #1

I don’t play roles everybody likes. I’d rather have a career I’m proud of. Like everyone else, I need to eat. But I’m a very unbusinesslike person, and I keep my price low. I’m not a mass product. I’m not everyone’s cup of tea Picture Quote #1

I like to do new things, so I always take on roles that I feel will keep me on my toes. I never want to pigeon myself, so I always like to surprise myself. I believe in versatility and so I would play anything as long as it was a challenge Picture Quote #1

I’m always looking to do different roles and play around a little bit. That’s always the fun part of my job Picture Quote #1
