Sometimes you have to search for inspiration with characters, and other times, they just drop out of the sky and arrive.

I really am a character actor, in my heart of hearts, because I really do like developing characters and painting a past for them.

My theory about actors is we're all walking milk cartons. Expirations dates everywhere.

Media runs the world, and it all changed, I think, when the debate between Kennedy and Nixon happened, and first of all we saw them on television, and that changed everything.

I did a movie with Clint Eastwood and I knew I wasn't going to be able to 'out-man' him.

Jerry Bruckheimer really is an executive producer, who obviously is the most successful producer in the history of film and television.

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