It's hard to find success and it's hard to find hit movies or hit TV shows and to stay relevant. I think it's a very difficult thing for actors, because a lot of us get lost, frankly.

My past is not pleasant; I grew up in a very tough town, Waterbury, Connecticut. I grew up in New York, too, but Waterbury was tougher.

Most of the time people are aiming so low on television. They're trying to reach that common denominator, especially on network television.

I think the most important thing for an actor is to stay current and stay relevant, and those are probably the hardest things to do.

The Victorian era is the sexiest age for me, but I also like a woman in a pair of jeans.

It's like, no matter what I do, I always feel like I'm five years old, and I end up in the back of my father's car looking out the window, and nothing has changed in 25 years.

People behave badly and people are in prison and people are on death row, and there are no excuses for everybody's behavior, but most people are coming from abuse.
