I'm a character actor, but I look like a leading man.

I love that Bob Dylan asked me to be in the first movie he wrote.

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

I've found that Hollywood's a really honest business. They don't pull any punches. They tell you exactly what you want-I want the fake breasts and the flat car and the big pool. You know, they're real up-front about it.

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.

The first play I saw was a Samuel Beckett play which was great.

I love acting, and doing it well matters to me.
