My father was a man of the theater. I grew up in a theater family. As a young man, as a boy, I gypsied around with my siblings and my parents to, like, eight different towns, went to eight different schools. All those things were extremely formative, and I think that's what happens.

If it's well written and well directed and you've got good actors to work with, acting is easy. But making sure all the ducks are in a row is the hard part. It's very rare

If you read in front of your kids, it's very likely that they'll become readers, too

I don't hesitate to do nudity as an actor if it's done well.

I think there are all sorts of ways of turning into an actor, and there are a vast variety of different actors. You know, you interview plenty of actors and you know they come at it from a different direction and acting means different things to a lot of people.

I consider myself a very lucky actor that, approaching 60, I'm still employed and employable.

I really prize and love great painting. It's so out of date now. It's slightly come back in.
