A kiss is a lusty dollop of dessert to be served with desire and savored with passion.

People are always asking me to do Shakespeare - at home, at colleges, on film locations, in restaurants. It's like playing a piece of music, getting all the notes. It's great therapy.

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

A lot of actors choose parts by the scripts, but I don't trust reading the scripts that much. I try to get some friends together and read a script aloud. Sometimes I read scripts and record them and play them back to see if there's a movie. It's very evocative; it's like a first cut because you hear 'She walked to the door,' and you visualize all these things. 'She opens the door' . . . because you read the stage directions, too.

There are a lot of roles in Shakespeare, basically. If I feel that the script is a movie, I would be interested in doing any role of Shakespeare's.

Responsibilities are relative. My responsibility is to a character in a script, to a part I'm playing.

sometimes it's better to be with the devil u know than the angel u didn't know
