ADD QUOTES
- Philip: My favorite thing about acting is being alone and going through the scripts and working on it and getting ideas and asking myself questions, looking outside myself for them and researching and getting to the bottom of something and being creative with it as an actor and how to express it in a creative fashion. That's my favorite part. And,the actual acting of it.

- Phillip (On his life before films): If I hadn't gotten into Scent Of a Woman, I wouldn't be where I am today. It's been a domino effect ever since.

- Phillip: Being unemployed is not good for any actor, no matter how successful you are. You always remember what it feels like to go to the unemployment office, what it feels like to be fired from all those restaurants.
