I guess I rooted for the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

I trained as a theatre actor and you had a bare stage and you had to pretend, one prop and you are in the middle of 8th Ave. and traffic is just going by.

I won and I get to scream and jump a little. But I got to go back to work tomorrow.

I don't see the world completely in black and white. Sometimes I do.

I've always played the guy with the gun and the knife. That's how many actors start out, playing the bad guy.

Before I was even in high school, I had dark circles under my eyes. Rumor was that I was a junkie. I have dark circles under my eyes, deal with it.

To me the thing with 'Grease' was that it was the first movie that as a kid I wanted to get up and do what they were doing.

To be honest with you, I'd rather not be working. When you work, there are all sorts of deadlines and pressures. I like to do one thing and take my time to do the other one.

The very first things that I did, even in theater, were bad guys. They are meaty roles for the most part. With the bad guy you have more freedom to experiment and go further out than with a good guy.

It depends, because sometimes an action role can be very demanding, and sometimes a dialogue-driven character can be very demanding, and vice versa. It depends.

You might get some serial killers who are born with a chip missing, but for the most part I don't think anyone is born bad.

Live and let live.Love thyself, in order to love thy man.Smart, independent women attract men.

The smug mask of virtue triumphant could be almost as horrible as the face of wickedness revealed.

A large stone presented by the archangel Gabriel to the patriarch Abraham, and preserved at Mecca. The patriarch had perhaps asked the archangel for bread.

When you're doing sketch comedy and you're pregnant, it's like wearing a giant sombrero in every sketch.

I am the young, edgy New Yorker.

A split second is nothing compared to twenty-four hours. On God's clock you're in the middle of your millisecond. Compared to eternity, what is seventy, eighty, ninety years?

You must not pity me because my sixtieth year finds me still astonished. To be astonished is one of the surest ways of not growing old too quickly.

You must be willing to accept the fact that pain is a part of the process of revelation.

I'd rather argue against a hundred idiots, than have one agree with me.
