"I wanted to be an actor or a drummer or a cartoonist. Acting was the only thing that I knew I could be better at. I'm a hideously unmotivated, lazy person - with the one exception of acting. I can actually be motivated and get up in the morning and be the sort of person about acting that I am not generally in life." - Sewell in Theaterweek, May 1-7, 1995
"People always want me to be a Byron or Heathcliff type. I might be the only one who knows it, but my strength is to play against those things." - Sewell to the New York Post, Feb. 17, 1998
"The reason I became an actor was to get from part to part. If I let that slip through my fingers by wanting to be famous rather than wanting to be good, then I'd hate myself for it." - Sewell on fame in Theaterweek, May 1-7, 1995
