If you walk into a room and one hundred people say, 'You are a lovely, beautiful person, who isn't going to be affected by that? But you have to tell yourself not to value that. You have to tell yourself - or at least I do - to not become accustomed to hearing applause in any way, because I think that's dangerous. When I look back I can't believe how my parents managed, but the cliche is true. We didn't have money, but we were rich in so many other ways. I once told a journalist that girls call me 'Kitten,' but I couldn't have been more sarcastic, and no matter how many times I've said that it was a joke, it still doesn't go away. I don't know why I always get to play these guys who have few redeeming features. But don't knock it. Villains are much more fun. When I look back I can't believe how my parents managed, but the cliche is true. We didn't have money, but we were rich in so many other ways. I feel like everything you learn as an actor growing up is wrong. You're supposed to hit your mark, find your light and know your lines. Those are all things that just make things wooden, dull and boring.
