What has emerged as I've gotten older is simplifying the characters I play, unless the role calls for something that is arcane or ornate.

I have a penchant for playing God's clowns. Actually, I played Nijinsky once, and he used to call himself God's clown.

I am very happy acting, and just have never gone at, or been bitten by the directing bug to the extent where I'm willing to put acting aside. If offered the opportunity, I think I could do a good job with the right material.

I can't imagine a more profoundly exciting experience than I had working on 'Avatar.' And whether I'm ever part of it again, I'll always be very proud that I was a part of it.

I loved Laurel and Hardy and TV shows like 'Robin Hood' and 'Rama of the Jungle'.

I wouldn't say 'Avatar' changed my life, but it definitely changed my career.

You try to go where the great scripts are, if you can, or you go where the not great scripts are, because that's what's being offered to you.
