I have some close friends I keep in touch with. I knit. I watch a little too much TV. I ski, if the weather's right for that. If I can find a group of buddies, I go rock climbing.

That's probably the biggest secret of acting: If the actor believes it themselves, they can make you believe it.

Acting is the business of truth, so that we can see ourselves reflected back and learn.

Being an actor on a movie set is like going to the playground at recess.

The power of television - it's so present in our lives, we don't even know how powerful it is.

The key to acting has much more to do with listening than with talking.

I'm a little bit of a glutton for punishment, especially when it comes to work. I don't mind a bit of suffering. I think it's in suffering that we realize our best selves.

I am a smoker, I'm ashamed to say. I had given it up for many years, then picked it up again. It's a horrible habit. I struggle with myself all the time. And I love to smoke.

The climate informs the character.

As an actor, you live a little bit of a cloistered life. It's a lonely life. You oddly, strangely find yourself all alone, quite often, with a lot of time to think.

I think this notion of acting and glamour is getting in everybody's way.

Life isn't just a gift, it's an abundant series of more gifts (i.e. Feather Presents) than one can count

Silence often speaks louder than words. To be heard is nice to be understood is divine.

We are never so happy nor so unhappy as we suppose ourselves to be.

I hate most of what constitutes rock music, which is basically middle-aged crap.

I would like to say to people, open your eyes and find beauty where you normally don't expect it.

The things I had were mine and some of them were broken, but they were real. They were so very far from nothing.

I measure the moment in the heartbeats I skip

I try to do something good, but when it doesn't go good, then I go like too much into myself, what I'm doing right, wrong, instead of thinking more what I have to do with the ball.

Never say no to an idea - you never know how that idea will ignite another idea.

Love is a pathway of many colors and dead ends. But when the right path is chosen, the sights are amazing.
