The only time it`s ever like work is when you don`t like what you`ve done. I`m very lucky in that I haven`t cultivated fame. Which, from what I`ve seen of my contemporaries, takes an enormous amount of time. I have a lot of respect for people that do it and they`re successful at it ... Especially people that aren`t such talented actors.

I just don't think I've ever been comfortable at public functions and selling myself as an entity.

I sang the songs in 'The Doors'.

The audience and I have an intimacy that is, I believe, rare, most times out.

Big movies are fun and it`s great to fly on private jets and make a lot of money and all the things that are connected with Hollywood, but they take a lot of your own life.

Art is a way to get strength from something that is life-affirming. It can be quite violent and still be life-affirming.

In order to be an artist and an actor, like tackling the classics in the theater as well as film, there's lots of discipline, lots of work, physical work put in.
