I lived in America for a long time before I started working as an actor. Some actors show up on set and have never done an American accent before, so they rely on a slew of technical mechanisms. Part of what makes an accent is understanding why people speak that way - you have to understand the culture.

I've always had ambition, and the acting was successful and put my name on the map, but it was never the plan to stop there.

You know, film is the ultimate goal in an actor's career. I mean, I still love TV. I have my feet firmly stamped in it. But my opportunities have been bigger and better.

Worldly wealth is the Devil's bait; and those whose minds feed upon riches recede, in general, from real happiness, in proportion as their stores increase, as the moon, when she is fullest, is farthest from the sun.

I like to play golf. You know, make a little money, lose a little money. Get 10 bucks, lose 20 bucks.

Money is available from investors as long as you have a great business model and a talented leader.
