I'm an actor, not a star. Stars are people who live in Hollywood and have heart-shaped swimming pools.

The only thing in this world that gives orders is balls.

One of the things that made me want to be an actor more than ever was seeing a Chekhov play, "The Sea Gull," when was 14 in the Bronx.

I've had very deep relationships that lasted for long periods of time with people - you could almost call them marriages, even though I didn't marry. But it was costly.

I turned down a lot of films before I made my first one. I knew that it was time for me to get into movies.

If you have the opportunity to meet someone as an actor, it's just great fodder for you. It's wonderful source stuff that we die for.

The thing that can get you a little upset is when people say other people are better than you. That can bug you.
