I started in theatre. I was at Cleveland and I went to London for the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's birth.

For my entire career, I wanted to be a director. When I was in the theater, it was very difficult to get directing jobs, and I fell into the acting by default. I got in the habit of accepting whatever came my way. Not things that I disagreed with, though. It's not like I had aspirations - well, I did have aspirations to play Hamlet, which I ended up doing.

As a character actor, I've learned that you have to watch yourself because nobody else is watching. Nobody is concerned with you.

If a kid ever realized what was involved in factory farming, they would never touch meat again.

The attitude we have towards our personal pets as opposed to the animals that suffer under the factory farm is hypocritical and delusional.

I don't look like a leading man, whatever they look like. It's changing a little.

My friends joke because I will take my clothes off, at the drop of a hat.
