I don't happen to have a sense of humor personally, so I don't know what's funny about a character... This happens to be a feature of my life generally.

When I was first exposed to the films of Ingmar Bergman, I found them frank and disturbing portraits of the world we live in, but that was not something that displeased me. They were beautiful. I thought people would respond to my plays the way I responded to Bergman's films.

I never grew up thinking, 'One day I will play so and so' because I wasn't expecting to be an actor at all.

'The Princess Bride' is by far the most popular film I've ever done. I don't think I'll ever top it.

The life of an actor can be very enviable.

I sincerely believe that if Bush and Cheney recognized the full humanity of other people's mothers around the world, they wouldn't commit the crimes they commit.

Acting is trying to be absolutely truthful; to get audiences to believe that you are a dean, when, actually, not only are you not the dean, but if you walked into the building they'd probably throw you out. That's very hard.
