The best thing I have is the knife from Fatal Attraction. I hung it in my kitchen. It's my way of saying, Don't mess with me.

You have to love the characters you play, even if no one else does.

When you're on the set, and sometimes, because it's been so complex and the writers have been really writing, sometimes up until the last minute... And you kind of sit back; you separate yourself from your brain, and you say, let me see if you can do this. And that's the kind of challenge I like.

Acting, to me, is about the incredible adventure of examining the landscape of human heart and soul. That's basically what we do.

As an actor, I go where the good writing is. That's the bottom line.

Be aware of your inner voice and follow it, even though most of the time it will tell you the most uncomfortable path to choose.

I left the studio at 5:30 in the morning. It's an incredible mind exercise. You have to, obviously, have stamina, but you really feel like you're kind of feeding your mind. It's a challenge of learning lines very fast and then you have to be lose enough to hopefully make good choices in a much shorter amount of time that it takes to film certain scenes.
