My father was in the ad business, and he wanted to be a painter.

As an actor, I look for the part itself. I look for the story and the role. If there's no money, but it's a good part in a good role, I'll still consider it. Basically, the worse the role is, the worse the story is, and the more they'll have to pay me. It's a simple correlation.

It's very gratifying that someone likes what you're selling.

Actors are always going to have a little bit of themselves in everything.

People who sleep around to get roles are frail and scared and most likely without talent. It's their own little horror show that only they can deal with.

I've managed to make a living in a very ridiculous business, and that's fine with me. The trick now is, after you've been in it for a while, you still have to remember to have fun.

Such is an actor's life. We must ride the waves of every film, barfing occasionally, yet maintain our dignity, even as the bulk of our Herculean efforts are keel-hauled before our very eyes.
