I introduced myself to Scorsese and I said, "If you need someone to do craft services, I'm there."

Nobody became an actor because he had a good childhood.

At the end of the day, what actors really want to do is act a lot and not wait around in the trailer.

There are some older women out there who are just knockouts, real beauties, and they're not getting the roles they should.

You'd much rather act with a pal, someone you know really well. That way, you can cut all the niceties and go right to insulting each other.

I think what all actors share is that, somewhere down in your solar plexus, there's this fear that you're not going to be able to come up with the goods, that this is the one movie where you're going to look like a fool, and they should have cast someone else. And you feel ugly, and you've got three chins, and you've gained too much weight, and you're losing your hair, and there are so many better actors who could do this. But if you've got chops, what you realize is that everybody feels that way, so just show up and do the job.

It sure is boring to be around people who are in character all the time. I always find it's closer to mental illness than acting excellence.
