You're your first best audience, long before anybody else hears you. So don't be an easy audience. Keep asking for more.

I've had such a great time, I'd like to come back as me - and do it all over again.

First of all, I choose the great roles, and if none of these come, I choose the mediocre ones, and if they don't come, I choose the ones that pay the rent.

I've got a lot of back-up because my father was a Catholic, my mother was a Protestant, I was educated by Jews and I'm married to a Muslim. So I won't lose out on a technicality.

You're never too old to be crazy.

I was a repertory actor, which meant that I did a play every week. I was a different character every week; for a year, I was doing 40 or 50 characters.

I learned about life before I went into the theater, which is why I've been so happy. I was a soldier.
