I love animals. All animals. I wouldn't hurt a cat or a dog — or a chicken, or a cow. And I wouldn't ask someone else to hurt them for me. That's why I'm a vegetarian.

I don't socialize. I'm kind of a hermit. The life of an actor can be very lonely.

Being on television, playing the same character for many years, for me, I think that would get a little tedious.

Saying I was lucky negates the hard work I put in and spits on that guy who’s freezing his ass off back in Brooklyn.

I hate that word — 'lucky.' It cheapens a lot of hard work

I think a lot of great male comic actors are introspective, quiet personalities, which I really admire. But they are really able to turn it up when the camera's on.

That's one of the things about theater vs. film - with theater, actors have a little more control, and one of the disappointing things about films is that once you're done shooting, anything can happen, you know?
