In general, I'm always interested in characters who have kind of extreme aspects to them, who are in some ways larger than typical people.

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

I always did plays in school because I thought it was fun, but it just never occurred to me as a thing to do.

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.

I always think of the character as being me. But me wearing a 'coat', which may be a different way of speaking, moving or regarding other people. To me, acting is pretending, just like kids playing, only you pretend as if it were really, really real.

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.
