When you're starting out as an actor, there isn't much food around. I was lucky to have a hit pretty early on. I didn't starve too long.

A career is a series of ups and downs, of comebacks.

It's important for everybody to have somewhere to go. Men and women need purpose [in life].

Making art is an act of courage. Do you know who said that?

I've only had good experiences with actors. Starring next to them and directing them, for the most part they're all inspiring, special people.

A gay man can be friends with a straight man. That can happen.

I love the fame and the money and the power. You have to keep working to have that.
