I remember from when I use to be a dancer, there is an expression among dancers, I had a T-shirt that said: SHUT UP AND DANCE.

Onstage I have a natural chutzpa that audiences like. I'm out there.

People come up to me all the time in New York. Not for autographs, but to talk about movies, often in a very scientific way.

To be honest, I was never very ambitious. And I still am not.

Also for me it was different because I play a lot of villains and in this one I play a dad and I play a good guy, basically. He's the Secretary of the Treasury. I never had a job like that.

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

Growing up in New York is like living in a horror museum because there are so many strange people walking the streets and riding the subways. You learn to develop a tough front if you live here, just in case you get into any kind of trouble and you need to talk your way out of it.
