If you play a king, it's better if everybody treats you like a king.

Everybody has to be a little lucky, I think.

There are movies that I've made where I thought I was going to be good, but when it was cut it together it wasn't. And there are a lot of movies that, for one reason or another, just don't become popular. So to me it's always been a little bit of a roll of the dice. That's the way it goes.

A job leads to a job, just like anything else, and it became apparent that this was probably what I was going to keep doing.

I became an actor kind of by accident. I was in musical theater and I got a job as an actor in a play and kept going. But I never set out to be an actor; it happened over time.

I grew up in the '50s, in New York City, where television was born. There were 90 live shows every week, and they used a lot of kids. There were schools just for these kids. There was a whole world that doesn't exist anymore.

I'm scared of everything. I think it's only sensible to be that way.
