I got an agent. He said, what do you wanna do, and I said, I want an Oscar nomination. That's your job, that's what I'm paying you for. And I got it.

A favorite cast? Lisa Kudrow, Anthony Hopkins, Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, and my wife.

Nobody became an actor because he had a good childhood.

The actor has the advantage - or the liability - of knowing, "It's going to be my face up there on the frickin' screen, so I better keep my wits about me. Nobody's going to care that I was bad because I was not happy. They're only going to know I'm bad."

I think I've been in situations where they looked at me and just see some rich white guy - they don't see me at all.

I'm really proud of the writing on Door to Door, and I think that's the Emmy that meant the most - the writing.

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