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."

Yeah, I made it. It sneaks up on you. You're some schmuck and you wake up one day and you go, Good God, I'm the cheese.

Just learn the whole script before you start shooting. That makes shooting a joy. Even if they rewrite, it's easy.

I have been working out for 30 years, staying in shape in the dream that someday I would get to play a sex scene. Finally I get one, and they cut it.

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 love making movies, I love the differentness of it, I love writing. But I've always liked television. I grew up on television.

Ninety percent of the preparation we do as actors is just jive. It doesn't do anything.
