One of the joys of being an actor is that you're always learning new things. And I've been doing this since I was 19, so there's been a lot of new things I have learned for each part. I always assume that I can do it.

I had a friend in the neighborhood whose father had Playboy magazines, and we would go over and look at them. I remember cutting out pictures and hiding them in my room.

When you work as an actor, you've got to feel safe even in what appears to be the simplest things.

I find that you can use an acting technique when the thing isn't working, not that you make the technique the end result of your work. You use the technique when you're in trouble and things aren't flowing the way they should. It's a way of fooling yourself to make it work again.

Tibetan Buddhism had an enormous impact on me.

People get offended by animal rights campaigns. It's ludicrous. It's not as bad as mass animal death in a factory.

I think people do want to relate their entertainment to what's going on in their lives. Not everything.
