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 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.

I have a voice. It's one of my gifts. I intend to use it on behalf of the children that UNICEF seeks to aid.

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

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.

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

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.
