I ended up an actor, did my first professional union gig in 1974, and I've been doing it ever since.

I like to play bad guys, since good guys are always beaten up several times during the movie. Bad guys are beaten only once, in the end.

People who get involved with the success of something have to be given at least some share of that success.

People are either enamored with me or wonder if they can take me.

If anything, I want to bring television back up to where it will entertain and engage a gamer.

When I was in art college, I would be painting, and I would create something on a canvas that was actually quite attractive. But if I got frightened and tried to protect that, that canvas would die.

My M.O. over the years is that I make things better, where people give me that freedom.

I'm a director's actor; I'm a storyteller's actor.

I basically was a precocious little kid.

I took acting lessons when I was 19, 20, and I had my writing.

Figuring things out for yourself is the only freedom anyone really has. Use that freedom.

Truth is what reconciles thought and experience.

You owe it to your destiny to never allow your thoughts and beliefs to go against your positive desires.

A universe whose only claim to be believed in rests on the validity of inference must not start telling us the inference is invalid.

In a funny way, I like the past, I'm a very nostalgic person.

Thinking has become a superfluous exercise... purely internal, without compelling force, more or less a game.

Girls we love for what they are; young men for what they promise to be.

People are always casting me for what they call my 'authority.

If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgement of them. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgement now.

Flapping my arms I began to cluck, look at me, I'm the disco duck.

I have a very small public.
