You're out there on a high wire without a net, and that's the way actors operate. They have to be fearless about how they work and they have to create a life for the audience in 90 minutes and make them believe.

I was born a character actor.

If I had my druthers, I would do only stage work.

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

Acting is ephemeral. You can't hang it on a wall. You can't throw it off. And you can't bring it out of a closet. It's there one night and it's gone the next, at least with stage acting anyhow.

I was born looking older... and I've been aging since I was a teenager.

You make the money in movies and TV so you can do theater. I do a play a year... somewhere.
