Frankly, my politics are pretty left of left

I suspect that a lot of studio executives still think of me as 'what's-his-name'.

Well, all I can say is thank goodness I had 15 years of theater before ever I did film roles. You build technique that you can rely on

You must survive with grace. You must do so gallantly. How archaic these terms seem to us in our modern world. There is little grace or gallantry in commerce or politics and not much in art.

I had a couple come in with a negative amortization mortgage on a house that costs way too much relative to their income. They're consuming real estate, not investing in it.

You don't throw away a whole life just because it's banged up a little.

As a rule it usually takes three or four readings for me to be interested in a script, and if I'm interested I'll read it three or four times before I make a strong decision
