I don't know how anybody gets better at anything aside from doing it.

It's almost obscene when you see people who haven't matured, who haven't changed, who don't have the weight of years on them. So that's interesting to me - to think about playing him into the future, anew.

I think people still have a need for miracles. Science keeps telling them there's no life on Mars, there's no God, nothing's trailing Hale-Bopp, those people are just dead in their Nikes. But they want to believe in something.

Approaching a part or thinking about taking a part, I never think, 'Is that person like me?'

I mean, you always want everybody to pat you on the back and tell you you're wonderful every time you do something; I think that's human nature.

Fame does lead to money, which I don't have a close relationship with. I'm the kind of guy who never sees the money - it all goes somewhere else. I don't understand it, I don't like to deal with it. I have a fear of not having it, because I grew up without it.

If young actors ask me things, I always tell them to get on set and watch how it's done. If you can, watch the people that you like, how they work.
