The only way to silence a room that's laughing at you is to sort of take over.

I don't really worry about being typecast much. I mean, everyone in Hollywood is typecast to a degree.

Depending on what stage I'm at in my career, I either work or don't work because I've been offered one thing.

I frequently gravitate toward characters that have some urgency or soul.

Who would I least want to hang out with? Probably John Lotter. I guess I have a place of understanding for everyone I've played.

I mean I don't think it got me interested in acting. I think it might be what makes it so that I can have the idea of the variety of people in the world, different incomes. That helps. When you're going to play someone it's interesting and nice to see experiences that aren't like yours. But there's always the remarkable similarity of all people.

It is very possible that I could have ended up on 80 acres of land by myself, and fallen in love at a distance with a gorgeous woman I could never have been with.
