When I hear young people today complain about being bored - and the things that keep them from being bored are generally exclusively videogames and/or computer pastimes - I just try to encourage them to go outside.

I always call performing live "giving the people the medicine," because when you're engaged in it, you can feel the sort of soul magic being exchanged between the performer and the audience.

I think what makes so many other actors miserable is focusing completely on making other plans. They're obsessed with their haircut and their headshot and their agent, their IMDB profile or whatever.

Being a man of the theater and a hedonist, I find the idea of building coffins very romantic.

If I put down my tweeter machine for a minute, I actually can communicate with people. As an aside, astonishingly, I just started doing Twitter.

I never went too long without a job. The problem was a lot of the early jobs are almost more demoralizing than unemployment.

Whenever I have a stubborn position on something, I take a deep breath and swallow myself.
