Quote
1
Acting is putting away your ego. I'm not tired of playing villains. They could cast me for the rest of my life in horror films and I wouldn't mind. Work is work, building a character is building a character. I'm not interested in being the biggest star or being in the hottest movies. I'm in this business because I love the craft of acting and will rise to any challenge given to me.

"Some people at church said, 'How can you do this film, being a Christian?' And I said, 'We don't live in a Pollyanna society. God called upon me to act, and He calls in Christ to be truthful people, and I have to present the world as it is.' That pretty much ended their argument there." (on playing the psychotic lead in "Don't Answer the Phone")

"I knew I wanted to be an actor since I was 8 years old. I went with my great aunt and saw 'The Three Musketeers.' When I came out of the theater, I told my great aunt, 'I have to be up on the screen like them.' And she looked down at me and said, 'Sure you do, Nicky.'
