In the consciousness of the end is the limitation of the moment.

I've always been fascinated by Baretta and Donny Brasco, and other undercover cops in movies.

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

It's the cable shows that are really the most interesting - 'Mad Men,' 'Breaking Bad,' those shows are really the premiere shows on television right now.

I was terrified of the Vietnam War when I was 13. I thought I was going. The draft was such an ominous thing, I felt as if it was going to trickle down to me.

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

I always felt like I needed to act. Not that I wanted to act, but I needed to. And, I still feel that same way. There's an expression that I get to have in acting that I can't consciously express in my life. It has always defined me and it always will.
