No one is any one thing.

A musical is only as good as its director. The same can also be said for the CIA.

I have sometimes imagined my own death and brought myself to tears.

The thing you can always rely on, your core person, comes from your family's attention and love.

What's great about being a character actor is you know that you can survive forever. It's not about the gloss of your eyebrows.

I'm totally aware of how lucky I am. I have health, family, children. I do work that gives me total joy and allows me to make a living, and maybe, if I'm lucky enough, I'll feel I've fulfilled a little bit of service to society because I brought other people some laughter.

All the actor does is, he tries to get as many takes as he can out of the director that day. So he can walk away and say to himself, "Hey, it's in there. I'm not going to edit it. I'm not going to make those choices. If they want to blow it, it's fine. But I've done all I can." You're right. I'm always amazed when actors bash films as if those grips and that cinematographer didn't work hard enough.
