I'm a big Philip Roth fan. I think "American Pastoral" is the great American novel of the past 30 to 40 years. It's a novel about what happened in the 1960s, and I think America is still dealing with what happened then. It's devastatingly sad.

Maybe the best things about celebrity are the things like being able to get that seat on the plane that you wouldn't normally get, but that's kind of like cheating.

I may be learning guitar, but I'll never be able to sing.

I'm not a comic book character. I'm not Indiana Jones or Bond, I'm a flesh and blood guy who is ageing and changing. I don't have to do what I did in '93. I couldn't do it and thank God.

I wouldn't succeed at musical theater.

There's two things I gotta do. One is, I gotta update my resume. And then, I have to call my mother.

People are really much more respectful than they're made out to be and much more discerning about the fact that I'm not the character I play.
