Your primary tools, as an actor, are observation and imagination. You can pretty much get everything you need from that, and you do. It brings back that element of pretend.

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

I don't think there is a role that I did twenty years ago that I couldn't do better now.

I like to understand, very specifically, what it is I'm seeing, and where it is and where it's going, and a lot of that is just hitting the mark and following the dotted line. But, that's good too because there's concentration and focus that's involved in that.

Fortitude, determination... in a way they're things that I idealize myself and am curious about.

I've always been curious as to why one man jumps out of a fox-hole with a grenade and charges a machine gun nest and his buddy, who sits right there next to him, sits there cowering. My feeling is that the different is tiny between the two.

I'm always reading plays, and when I find something that I really want to do, then I'll make the time to do it.
