Being unemployed is not good for an actor. No, it isn't, no matter how unsuccessful you are. Because you always remember getting fired from all the restaurants. You remember that stuff very, very strongly.

There are a lot of things going on with my life right now that don't just have to do with career. So I have a hard time making decisions about work. That's really a luxury problem.

When you have a child, as anyone knows who has them, that's basically all you want to talk about.

A lot of people describe me as chubby, which seems so easy, so first-choice. Or stocky. Fair-skinned. Tow-headed. There are so many other choices. How about dense? I mean, I'm a thick kind of guy. But I'm never described in attractive ways. I'm waiting for somebody to say I'm at least cute. But nobody has.

Good work is the only thing that would make me feel jealous or envious.

When you read, you think, and when you smoke, you think. It's a pleasurable thing, and not a duty.

I always thought I'd be a New York theater actor, riding my bicycle to rehearsal. That was all I ever wanted.
