I hope the perception is that I'm an actor, I never intended to be a movie star.

You never open your mouth until you know what the shot is.

There is no happiness. There is only concentration.

When I was a younger actor, I would try to keep it serious all day. But I have found, later on, that the lighter I am about things when I'm going to do a big scene that's dramatic and takes a lot out of you, the better off I am when I come to it.

I am more alive in the theater than anywhere else, but what I take into the theater I get from the streets.

Show me a bad script and I will show you a big payday.

We start to realize that there are anodynes in life that help us through the day. I don't care if it's a walk in the park, a look out the window, a good bubble bath - whatever. Even a meal you like, or a friend you want to call. That helps us solve all this stuff in our head.
