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

A wonderful but kind of a terrible truth about acting is that you actually get to a point where you become content with an impossible task: it is really impossible to properly prepare. You kind of have to start over every time.

Warren Beatty once told me that if someone's really stuck on you, find them their next boyfriend. But I could never do that.

Life is precious, and when someone dies it's an opportunity to realise how precious it is. My brother drowned when I was 17. He was 15. I think I grew from that. My father didn't. It really crushed him.

I have never taken my career seriously. My only ambition was to grow as an actor.

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

Performing in a live theater is absolutely unbeatable. It is something I have done my entire life and have a gift, it seems, for sharing thoughts live.
