Quotes
The only thing I wanted to do when I was a young naive kid was to
become a New York stage actor. I thought that would be nirvana. I think
of myself as an actor. If other people want to pigeonhole me, if they
want to think of me as a big deal or a medium deal or a small deal,
well, that's up to them.
