Scary monsters are like Hula Hoops. They come in and out of fashion.

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 like to direct movies, but I don't like to goof around for eight years talking about it. And it's pretty irritating to get a movie on. So to complicate it by having more irritation as a director, I don't really need it. And because I direct a great deal still, but in the theater, I kind of get that anyway. Which is not at all to say I would never do it again, or it would never happen again.

I always wanted to be fashionable.

There's no worse feeling in the world than realizing the play you've directed doesn't work.

I can have incredible self-discipline. But see, I think it's obviously a form of stupidity.

I don't wake up drenched in sweat because I haven't been on stage in years.
