As a matter of fact, I rarely ever play myself.

But I think one of the reasons I tend to stay in the water most of the time is I distrust the comfort.

It's my job to try to communicate with as little showiness as possible. I was a really showy actor as a young man.

And the test for any actor is whether you stay at the table or go away.

At this point in my career, I can stand shoulder to shoulder with an actor my age who has chosen to do really awful things, and he will get a job over me.

I have a good friend who says, "We're all just dodging bullets." It seems to me the trick to living a good life is to try to move away from the gun you turn on yourself.

You get kinder when you get into my age range. You think back to how really unkind you were, and how cynical you were and how you tossed things away and you tossed people away, and you didn't care because you were climbing some mountain that you thought you needed to be on top of.
