Mercury poisoning sounds like a rich man's disease . . . like something you might get from the leather seats in your Lamborghini.

If you are an incredibly reactive person and you are working on your lowest level, and if you continuously give into your dark side and are angry, and screaming, and breaking things, and you do that for hours and hours on end, you are going to be incredibly exhausted. That's just the way life is.

I feel, as a person, very uninteresting.

I grew up watching PBS and wanting to be a part of it, just like HBO.

Unless an entire row of people got up in the middle of a performance and left the theater in disgust, I felt as though I hadn't done my job.

HBO does something that most networks don't do which is give a show a chance to find their voice.

For the record, if you're not a stage actor, climbing onto Broadway and tackling something like David Mamet is not an easy thing to do.
