I'm a quite serious actor who doesn't mind being ridiculously comic.

So you can't judge the character you're playing ever.

If you could build a house on a trampoline, that would suit me fine.

Those of you who are not aware of my brilliant career as a stand up comic, I'm not aware of it either so we might well wonder what we're doing here.

We're dead as a species if we don't tell stories, because then we don't know who we are.

Acting is about giving something away, handing yourself over to whatever role you are asked to play. I'm not hiding or escaping or seeking anonymity. I reserve the right not to have a rubber stamp on my forehead saying this is who I am. Because who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.

I love working in New York theater.
