In my career, I've had kind of a strange trajectory as an actor. I started out doing movies and theater and stuff, but then I had a terrible problem with stage fright as an actor on stage, and I quit stage acting for a long, long time.

I'd always admired Diane Keaton, but I'd never met her.

Most of the time when I receive a script, it says something like 'Rosenberg is the fat, slovenly Mayor, who doesn't want the kids to use the Skateboard Park,' or 'Stein is a pompous, rotund attorney, imposing to all.' It would be so freeing to get a script where my character is simply described as 'A Man.'

It's funny, but three of my early films were with Liam Neeson, before Liam Neeson was a big star.

The word "hedonistic" to me means pleasure above all else. My pleasure above all else.

I've always thought that, in a sense, the more specific and sometimes even the smaller the world of a movie is, the more universal it is.

I haven't appeared on stage in quite a long time and I don't have any immediate plans to do so, but I'm always interested in going back.
