A young actor once asked me, What do you do between jobs? I said, Hobbies, hobbies, and more hobbies.

I always considered myself as a character actor. I always try to be versatile to show different sides of human experience.

Way, way, way back I played a little bit, but I am definitely not a golfer. You know, it just takes too much time anyway during the course of the day.

Hollywood is still the mecca for good or bad, but it isn't the beginning or end for filmmaking.

You gotta be careful with message movies. People say "What do you want people to take away from it?" I always say its totally individual.

There's no smoking section in heaven.

I've always remembered something Sanford Meisner, my acting teacher, told us. When you create a character, it's like making a chair, except instead of making someting out of wood, you make it out of yourself. That's the actor's craft - using yourself to create a character.
