People think that my favorite roles to do are villains, but I find comedy to be the most challenging and rewarding.

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

I always like to watch comics and it's interesting that you can tell if someone's funny in 10 seconds.

Emotional power is maybe the most valuable thing that an actor can have.

I think if you do something effectively whether you're the lover or the comic or the action guy or the villain like I play; movies are very expensive to make. Chances are you'll get asked to play that part again.

When videotape came so a lot of movies that I do have a kind of afterlife in video. Things where movies that I do would come and go; they still come and go but you can go rent them and see them on TV.

Can I confess something? I tell you this as an artist, I think you'll understand. Sometimes when I'm driving on the road at night I see two headlights coming toward me. Fast. I have this sudden impulse to turn the wheel quickly, head-on into the oncoming car. I can anticipate the explosion. The sound of shattering glass. The flames rising out of the flowing gasoline.
