Hollywood's like a warehouse. It's just a place that you go. What's interesting in the warehouse has to do with the creative people.

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.

I never cultivated a personality. Almost everyone who is really famous has cultivated a personality.

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

Doing my first movie, I realized I could get into real bad habits. If you're the star, all you have to do is show up, and 20 people say, 'Do you want anything? What is it? Let me get it for you.' Believe me, you get spoiled very quickly. I saw some of my contemporaries allow themselves to have that fame, thinking they could handle it. It messed them up.

Everything in high school was reversed. If marijuana was supposed to make you mellow, I would be like, "The cops, the cops, the cops..." I was what you call the buzz kill.

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