What I do is interpret, not create. I may add elements and do something different. That is what is so incredible about theatre. Why do we love it that there are nine Hamletsor six King Lears over two years? We love to watch a different actor attack the same material.

You can't win a marathon without putting some bandaids on your nipples!

If youre not concerned about maintaining an image, you can pursue roads that another actor might not take.

Sometimes I'll be flipping through the channels and I'll see a movie I'm in. And I'll probably stop and think, 'Sure, I'll watch this.'

Directing a film was something I was yearning to do. I always wanted to see if I had the capacity to be a good storyteller.

Why not sit around a Beverly Hills pool collecting residual cheques? That is not the kind of life I want.

If you look back through history in the United States, there have been very few landslide elections. Half the country always voted for someone else.
