I'd like to have a decade of my life back. I dropped into a void for almost a decade.

Of course, I'm not often the top dog, but sometimes it's better not to be top dog, because you last longer. If a movie or play flops, you always blame the lead. They say, 'He couldn't carry it.' They always blame him. But they rarely blame the second or third banana.

That place that no one knows about - horrifying things we keep secret. A lot of that is released through acting.

There are many secrets in us, in the depths of our souls, that we don't want anyone to know about.

I would rather do a play because it's instantaneous. You go on the stage, and you know whether it's happening or not. Somebody asked me 'What is acting?' And I said, 'Acting is listening.' And if you ain't listening, nobody's listening.

I was born a character actor.

I can't count how many of my friends are in the cemetery at Normandy, the heroes are still there, the real heroes.
