All my career, I've said this: Critics and producers think audiences want actors that only present the silhouette and hit the points in the silhouette. What I do is too dangerous.

I'd love to do situation comedy - it's the best job in show business.

The theater is a tough place. It's not cushioned the way it is in film and television.

I played the tuba in high school. I wanted to be a member of the marching band. I thought, what can I play that has the most effect? What can I play to get people to laugh?

I know what it means to have a leading part, and I know what it means to have a featured part.

My favorite composers are the ones that tell the story. I love Wagner. I love Mahler. Prokofiev. The programmatic music. I listen more to classic rock because I don't like the contemporary music very much.

Sometimes love doesn't come to us. We have to go out hunting. It's like pigs looking for truffles. It's called dating.
