Older actors, and women in particular, are getting more opportunities. It pleases me, its very good news for us. They say that people are living longer, and maybe it's just that there's more of us out there.

I know that whenever I think about death, I come up against a stone wall.

There probably aren't a lot of actors my age who tap dance.

I tend to play mostly villains and twisted people. Unsavory guys. I think it's my face, the way I look.

The minute I start to talk about acting, I realize that I can't. You know, it's an abstract thing, a little bit mysterious even if you do it for a living.

I have a friend of mine who does me on his answering machine, and when I call him, I answer. It's pretty strange.

I don't much like being directed. I enjoy being allowed to play.
