I was doing judo before anybody knew it existed in this country.

I lack confidence as an actor.

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

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

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.

There's no nobility with war. It's tear-'em-up destruction that leaves you frustrated, bitter and angry... If you really knew what it was like for an hour, you wouldn't want anyone to go through it.
