Some of the joy in acting is switching it up: being able to do something that's different than what you've been doing.
I have to say, I feel really lucky. I've had a lot of great characters to play.
Now that I am a part of the Hindi film industry, I hope I can do different roles with a lot of scope.
I get to do interesting roles and make a living.
I've been getting diverse roles.
I do play a lot of Southerners because I grew up in the South, but they're still diverse.
I'm an actor who believes in looking different in every film of mine.
The fact of the matter is I have done so many parts.
I want variety. I want versatility. Otherwise, I'm wasting the opportunity of being an actor, which is all about variation and change.
As far as the type of movies I am offered is concerned, it's a mix. I have been offered both period films and the regular fare.
I was lucky enough to have a plethora of types of roles before and during the horror movie part of my career.
I play characters. I don't think I really have a persona per se. I don't play the same guy every time. I show up, you don't know what I'm gonna do. I like it that way. I've intentionally tried to do it that way. I think that's what's interesting.
Every person on the streets of New York is a type. The city is one big theater where everyone is on display.
I'm a character actor but unlike a lot of character actors, I don't look radically different from film to film and there was a bunch of them at once.
I'm always looking for a chance to play somebody who's completely opposite of me, just because I find it more interesting.
I like to think I've done a lot of different kinds of roles, but obviously I have done quite a lot of comedies.
I don't want to do roles in films which I have already done on TV. What is the point of jumping to films and doing the same thing?
I've always wanted to demonstrate a variety of different roles when I act and do different projects and not ever do one of the same.
Oh, I just love being a character actress. You have a lot of fun, and not only that, you save tons on cosmetic surgery because you never have to have liposuction.
I have been quite lucky as an actor to have managed to play different kinds of roles.
I feel really fortunate that I've been given a lot of roles that were very different from each other. For me, variety is the key. I don't want to play the same thing over and over again.
It's a blessing to be given a variety of roles to what I call an iconic action actor like myself.
I have quite a lot of character types that I want to play, so taking on various genres and roles is what I intend to do, if I can.
I am very conscious about picking my roles and make sure that they are different.
I've done the gay, over-the-top guy. I want to jump into another show where I wear pants for the majority of the time.
