I actually have a long apology letter from Robert Brustein, saying, "I'm so sorry this happened to you. I didn't realize the people who were running the acting department at the drama school hated actors." They did. And they were fired when I graduated.

Maybe you're better to play a villain just straight out.

I think indie films are really important, because they show the studios and the audiences when they see them, great stories. Really interesting, small stories.

I used to be terribly shy, so I was either shy or over the top, and I always had a difficult time.

I love working quickly. I don't like to do thousands of takes, and I don't want to do thousands of set ups.

As an actor, the second and last ones were interesting for me. Because those parts had the most change in playing someone who was both light and dark, sort of Jekyl and Hyde.

People who run environmental groups and things like that, who have to listen to all kinds of nonsense and keep their tempers, are very diplomatic and very inclusive.
