But I don`t think it helps to be thought of as a scene-stealer. That`s not comforting for the other actors. They think, `Well, I don`t want to work with him. Go steal from someone else.` So I`m never going into a movie thinking that I want to grab the attention. Quite the opposite: I give that stuff away, because I`m wanting to make the best whole piece. I want to look back at my resume and think, `That was a great movie,` not, `Oh, those four movies were shit, but I was good in them.` I want to be a part of great things.
