For a while, I couldn't decide whether or not I should pursue singing in the opera or acting. And I'm glad that I chose the latter because I wasn't a very good singer.

I think Stephen Sondheim is a - and I hardly ever use this word - but this is as close as it gets to a genius.

Facts can be so misleading, where rumors, true or false, are often revealing.

You know, I don't talk about the characters that I play. Years ago, I was a little timid about it and I kind of squirmed when I was asked, 'Could you tell us something about your character.' Now with a little self-confidence that comes with the grey beard, I just flatly refuse.

Mine is studying script and being very academic and trying to be important.

You know, I don't support esoteric approaches to acting.

I'm not into weapons. I'm not into cars. I'm not into explosions. I'm scared of all of that.
