I don't know why people eat so badly. I could eat pasta all the time, but it really is fattening. And I love ice cream, but I can't do that. There was a time, until I was in my mid-forties, when I could eat a whole pizza - and really, no effect.

My background is in musical comedy.

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

I try not to worry about things I can't do anything about.

An actor really is a kind of intermediary between an audience and the piece, whether it's a play or movie.

I don't even like holding them. Whenever I hold a gun, I want to get it out of my hand as quick as possible.

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.
