Nothing else counts except what you want.

I love directors who talk action as opposed to emotion.

I do love comedy, but I'm not brave enough to tackle a script whose goal is to make you laugh. That's tough. The ones that can do it, I tip my hat off to them, but I don't have that kind of humor or mind.

I'm not much of a preparer. I think sometimes as an actor you need to go out and learn some skills, but in terms of preparation for understanding the character, it's all on the page, and if it's not on the page, you're in trouble.

When I was in New York, I was making a living. We had a summer house and a car that I could put in a garage. That's something for a stage actor.

It was my first impulse, but I chose to play the priest as a true believer who was an absolute man of faith that absolutely supports the church.

I'm a firm believer that character is highly overrated. Character is a trick that we do with the audience's collusion.
