I like to do theater and hopefully be effective. Most actors, at least contemporary actors of my generation, can't do it. They don't have the chops.

Some musicians play blues, others classical jazz or bluegrass. I like to play political roles because I can merge my political interests with my creative interests.

When you go to a restaurant, the less you know about what happens in the kitchen, the more you enjoy your meal.

New York is the greatest character actor ever. Any film that is shot in New York is elevated by the city.

I think I was afraid of what I might say when I got onto someone's stage or in front of someone's camera.
