I remember I was like five or six years old; I played the devil. That was my first role.

A cigar is as good as memories that you have when you smoked it.

There are two things worth living for, one is a good cigar, the other is a better one.

I even smoke in bed. Imagine smoking a cigar in bed, reading a book. Next to your bed, there's a cigar table with a special cigar ashtray, and your wife is reading a book on how to save the environment.

Instead of acting in court, I decided to act onstage.

Thank God for the theater.

My parents thought, 'Oh, my God! What's wrong with him? He's possessed or something.' All of a sudden, I stood up and started saying my lines. From then on, that was it. I knew there was something special about the theater for me, something beyond the regular reality, something that I could get into and transcend and become something other than myself.
