When you do a really good play, the audience and the performers are looking into the same looking glass, the same microscope. And the specimen they are looking at is human life and that's why I do it, that's why I like it.

Much of what you do as an actor - it's who's around you, what's the environment, where do you fit into this thing. That's really work that's impossible to do on your own, at least for me. I find it hard to pre-plan every element of everything I do. It's not my thing.

I'm not a psychiatrist. I'm not treating patients.

There are many, many benefits to being known for whatever it is you do. To deny that would be sort of asinine and vulgar.

Where women are concerned, the rule is never to go out with anyone better dressed than you.

People get up, they go to work, they have their lives, but you'll never see the headlines say, 'Six billion people got along rather well today.' You'll have the headline about the 30 people who shot each other.

And if you say a word about this over the radio, the next wings you see will belong to the flies buzzing over your rotting corpse.
