One of the joys about acting is researching.

I like Edward G. Robinson - he started as a character actor and became a lead, which is probably why I like him.

When I was in the Army, I read a book by Adlai Stevenson. He said law was as noble as saving a person's life. So at one point, I felt that way too.

When you play so many outcasts and derelicts, or even a murderer, you need to play someone healthy.

I love the word 'resonance.'

I'm a journeyman actor, and I don't ever want to forget that. With romantic-lead dreams.

I'm probably the most pessimistic actor I know. I'm always sure I'll never work again.
