Anyone who hears enough laughter and applause at a young age will become an actor, whether they intend to or not.

I subscribe to the great George G. Scott quote, "All actors are in trouble. Directors who don't help are a pain in the ass". We all need help from directors. We are all equally insecure.

I certainly had my years as an out of work actor but I was married with a baby. My wife was supporting us.

Everybody's a dreamer.

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.

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

I'm as flighty as anybody. You put a lot out there. I've been through the process a lot. When I play a major role, it's my instinct to create a nice atmosphere. People in the major roles dominate the tone of an entire film. To my mind, it's much easier to work creatively when everyone's friendly.
