I always tell that to young people - go to college, do theater, work with an audience. Don't try to learn how to act in front of millions and millions of people. Don't make that your first ambition, to be on a sitcom or get into the movies. Learn who you are as an actor, and the best way to do that is to do it in front of an audience.

When you end a successful sitcom, the most sensible thing to do is go back to the theater.

Growing up I didn't want to be an actor. I sort of didn't want to go into the family business; the main reason being there was something I wanted to do far more, which was be an artist.

It's nice when you've done enough movies that you can do your own anthology.

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.

Take care, be kind, be considerate of other people and other species, and be loving.
