I play characters. I don't think I really have a persona per se. I don't play the same guy every time. I show up, you don't know what I'm gonna do. I like it that way. I've intentionally tried to do it that way. I think that's what's interesting.

I certainly believe that being in contact with ones spirit and nurturing ones spirit is as important as nurturing ones body and mind. We are three dimensional beings: body, mind, spirit.

I think everyone is very surprised at how matrix has become the pop culture phenomenon that it is.

People think that I'm haughty and stuck up, but really I'm just very shy.

Special effects are characters. Special effects are essential elements. Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they aren't there.

I wouldn't say that going into a weekly television series is actually stepping away from anything. It's another medium in which to work as an actor.

I came up around people who took acting seriously, who cared about acting, cared about the theater and, in the '70s, made movies that said something that mattered. I came up with those people, and I was a kid. Their ethos and credo became mine.
