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'm one of relatively few stage-trained actors who doesn't much like acting on stage. It feels kind of like riding the Cyclone at Coney Island, which I did when I was eight. When it was all over, I was glad I had done it, but most of the time when it was actually happening, I was just kind of hanging on for dear life.

Though I acted in hundreds of productions, appeared at the Guthrie Theatre and on Broadway in Amadeus, I discovered in my thirties that I didn't really like stage acting. The presence of the audience, the eight shows a week and the possibility of a long run were all unnatural to me.

We must agree to live in this world, with all that is unfair about it, without knowing why, if we wish to have a God in our lives.

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