To be anywhere near an enormous ocean liner when you are just like a fish in the water is frightening.

Certainly I've had the experience of thinking a person was one thing, and finding out they were another.

I don't think there are in life, pure darkness or pure light. Everyone's got a little of everything.

As an actor, I think a mistake that any storyteller can make is to play the ending.

I've never had any delusions about being a leading man, and it's not sour grapes to say that in the best films that I've always enjoyed, the cliched leading man type isn't a part of the picture.

I went to a performance of 'The Crucible' at the Guthrie when I was a sophomore in high school, and I knew right away that that's what I wanted to do

My fear now is of cliche, of complacency, of not being able to feel authenticity in myself and those around me.
