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

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 certainly have never been an actor who can play the Everyman guy - or, I don't tend to get those parts. I've tended to play eccentrics. I've played a lot of villains, of course.

I like to stand in my kitchen with the script on a counter that's about chest high. Usually I do something else at the same time - make a chicken or slice vegetables - and all day long I just read it over and over and over.

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.

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

By the time I was 7, I did walk-ons, catalogue modeling, you name it. In the Queens where I grew up, you didn't go bowling on Saturday; you went to dancing school.
