I have a sneaking suspicion that if there were a way to make movies without actors, George Lucas would do it.

I love ensemble pieces, I love being a part of the entire tapestry of a piece, but I think character actors do have a lot more fun, and there's a versatility involved that's challenging and fun, to come up to speed and do what's required of you.

You know those actors who have a sense for how they should be used? I don't think I have that.

When you say 'comic book' in America, people think of Mickey Mouse, and Archie. It has a connotation of juvenile.

I have failed 'Star Wars' trivia tests. People come up to me at conventions and use terms that I've never heard of.

I think 'Comic Book: The Movie' is the apex of my career in terms of making a personal statement that has significance to me and resonates with biographical detail about not only my career, but all the people that I've worked with in my career. All of it's riddled, on- and off-camera, with people I've known and worked with for decades.

I think theater has given me the opportunity to show what a character actor I can be.
