There is no question that [Dan] Quayle is an uneducated idiot. But someone, somewhere cleverly realized that the best diversion from Bush is to put on a clown show.

I've been lucky-my looks haven't put me into one category. I don't look like a blue blood. I don't look like a criminal. I don't look like anything.

I ran spotlight. Swept up. Did box office. Ran the lighting board. But acting was the most fun.

I wouldn't say I'm a method actor. I do research when I feel I don't have enough experience for the part I'm playing.

I grew up in New York, and I have that in me, that be-honest-at-all-costs, don't b.s. me attitude. I say, If you've got something to say about me, say it to my face. And then we'll either talk about it or fight about it.

If you're in the position to help someone and you do it, it's very rewarding.

I don't view myself as a political leftie. I view myself as a storyteller who is fair to both sides.
