You know, growing up, I lived in a neighborhood in Long Island where there was basically one black family. And I remember hearing all the parents and the kids in the neighborhood say racist things about this family.

It's hard to keep a play alive moment-to-moment, you know? But there's another part of it that I really love, which is that you never know.

Sometimes there's one person in the audience laughing hysterically, and it's so much fun. You end up playing the entire play to them.

Everything was coming my way, but I was going down. I was painfully empty.

I never bought a stock in my life. I don't understand it. To me it is like Chinese.

My family was blue collar, a middle-class kind of thing. My father was born in Detroit, Italian-American. My mother is English. She acted on the stage with Diana Dors. Her parents were French.

The truth in acting is that we are all hired help. We are a commodity. There is no difference between being an actor and pork bellies.
