I just don't think I'm that interesting. I don't think what I have to say is that interesting. To hear me go blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I mean, who... cares?
I'm an actor... I do a job and I go home. Why are you interested in me? You don't ask a truck driver about his job.
I've been very lucky, considering what I look like and what I do.
