That's where humour lives for me. In the body. The Steve Martin kind of stuff or Jim Carrey, that's what I like. I've always felt that's what I would like to do.

The actor becomes an emotional athlete. The process is painful - my personal life suffers.

We're charlatans in a way, we're magic people. Part of the behind the scenes stuff is to loosen you up, to make you feel that you are experiencing this. This is my style, I did it in Looking for Richard, too. And I figure, if I can weave it into the actual play and get the audience interested, like the robes going up and down, they'll pay attention long enough to consume it.

I probably write a poem every 50 years.

An actor basically likes to be asked to do something, no matter what position he's in. It feels more natural. Sitting and waiting is more gratifying.

I've never cared for guns. In fact, when I did 'Scent of a Woman' I had to learn how to assemble one.

[Salomaybe] is my presentation, my vision of the world. Not so much to satisfy the audience at large.
