The common denominator of all my friends is that they're dead.

I can make the best French toast.

I'm a very physical actor. I use everything - toes, teeth, ears, everything. I don't simply mean physical in the sense of movement and vigour. I find myself remembering the shape of a scene by how I'm standing, what I'm doing.

I love working with young people, which is to me a big kick.

If I'm not at my study by 10:00, 10:30, forget it, I can't write a word.

My own favorite is something called Rogue Male.

Writing is a kind of performing art, and I can't sit down to write unless I'm dressed. I don't mean dressed in a suit, but dressed well and comfortably and I have to be shaved and bathed.
