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

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

I tend to lose my performance energy the longer things go on for, so I'm always best on the very first take.

I just pick the best roles that are left over, and they usually aren't the heterosexual, leading-man, non-drug-addict parts. And once you get into doing them, people know you do them.

I like to work as an actor. Not just for money, but because I really enjoy acting.
