If it doesn't feel like a job and I'm learning something and getting that rush that I get, I don't care if it's behind a camera, on a TV set, or on the moon.

My dad is kind of a rascal, like in a Dickensian sense. He just goes from career to career.

Even the greatest actors have had dry spells where they've wondered if they were going to work again.

You learn history in school, and you have a reverential feeling toward it. But by being irreverent, it feels current.

Maybe I'm naive, but I subscribe to the idea that nobody is actually making strategic decisions about their career. Trying to do that would be like playing three-card monte on Canal Street.

I always felt that if somebody picks on you it's because they're not happy doing what they're doing.

The place I feel most at home is when I have health insurance. I really don't care how I get it, whether it's on film, or television or waiting tables, you know?
