I don't make decisions based on money.

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.

I would say recently I've gotten back to perusing [Samuel] Beckett's novels. Listening to the way Donald Trump speaks without saying anything has made me think about language.

I'm actually thinking about getting back to being a bath tub. I don't think anyone's ever quite segued into that.

TV was the boogey man when I was growing up. Video games are the boogey man now. The novel was once a boogey man. Books about lowborn people doing lowborn things were once considered a real assault on people's morals. Maybe some day video games will be looked on as a good thing, but personally I don't see it.

I think [kids] enjoy reading, but it's a different world now. There are a lot of competitors for the imaginative attention.

I really like gratuitous nudity. I hate when people go, 'I'll only do it if it makes sense for the movie'. It never makes sense. So I like it - the more gratuitous the better.
