If you look closely at some scenes in Diner, my eyes look like Dracula's.

Where I come from, being a hard man is being able to take a good beating and then get back up again and carry on fighting.

I couldn't direct traffic. It's hard enough just acting.

I probably did a dozen plays, like Off-Off-Broadway stuff.

All I am hoping for is to be able to work-I think my best work is still ahead of me-I think all that I have been through in the last several years have only made me a better, more interesting actor.

I trained like an animal, but the thing is focus and concentration. When the bell rings it's like when the little red light goes on over the camera. And I can usually nail my lines on the first or second take because I'm right there.

Hey, baby, nobody suffers like the poor.
