I've always said it's flattering to be desired, just as it's flattering that people accept the reality of the character you play. But it was always ridiculous to assume that because I could play a gigolo on screen I'd play anything like that role off screen.

I meditate. Daily practice is essential to my life.

I can see the character in a photograph, in the way a guy stands or holds his hands, the way he buckles his belt. I fantasize a lot looking at photographs. I'm sure that doesn't work for many people.

The idea of fixing of healing is an important part of any genuine spiritual approach. Kabbalah is very much about this idea of fixing of things that have been damaged. From a Buddhist point of view, things have been damaged because ignorance has intoxicated the mind.

I haven't worked with people who are jealous or competitive. That's a particularly deadly attitude to have when you're working on a film.

Shooting in New York can be a problem... I had to walk through a crowd, come in the front door, and play the scene.

My life is pretty simple and normal.
