I found I wasn't asking good enough questions because I assumed I knew something.

Here's my Golden Rule for a tarnished age: Be fair with others, but keep after them until they're fair with you.

Be brave enough to live creatively.

I'm most at home on the stage. I was carried onstage for the first time when I was six months old.

I don't really worry about the size of the part much any more. It's nice to have more time to work on the character, and to have big scenes to play. But if there's something playable there, and if it's interesting to do, then that's nice.

After a while I started to think of that as an image of something that went a lot deeper than the dead dog, which is you can't bring back anything to life.

I've been nominated twice before as actor in a leading part. Now I'm nominated as actor in a supporting part. If I don't win, I'll just wait until I'm nominated for being in the theater during the show. Do they have one like that?
