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

I had to go to Sunday school once or twice in my life, and that's where I commented someplace on hearing.

I generally play strong people and scary people.

I began to write fiction on the assumption that the true enemies of the novel were plot, character, setting and theme, and having once abandoned these familiar ways of thinking about fiction, totality of vision or structure was really all that remained.

Starting in the mid-'80s, I played in a band called Meat Joy, and we made our own record, toured.

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.

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