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 It's so out of date now.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

I look for every opportunity to mix comedy and horror and tragedy. I love catching audiences off-guard.

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

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

You kill three people, they call you a murderer. You kill a million people, they call you a conqueror. Go figure.

I never get tired of hearing compliments.

I grew up in a theater family. My father was a regional theater classical repertory producer. He created Shakespeare festivals. He produced all of Shakespeare's plays, mostly in Shakespeare festivals in Ohio. One of them, the Great Lakes Theater Festival in Cleveland, is still going. So I grew up not wanting to be an actor, not wanting to go into the family business.
