I think I was always interested in darker characters just because there was a lot more to do.

It's so enjoyable to play a bad guy, you know.

I was often getting hired to play sociopaths and psychopaths and stuff, which is really funny.

I was watching Orson Welles and Jean Vigo films at a ridiculously young age.

I realized that work doesnt beget work. Good work begets work. So I got a lot more patient and stopped worrying about working all the time.

I guess I just would never be so arrogant as to think that anybody would even recognize me. I didn't even think about it.

Im really bad at tests of any kind, so Im bad at auditions. I consider myself educated most of the time, but when Im under the gun, I just fail.

To spend 36 hours or 48 hours of my life binge-watching something seems insane to me.

Characters for me are born on page one and they die on page 100.

Everyone's different. I mean, some people write journals for their characters and stuff, but that was never really my area.

Now I write often. I decided that I need to write for myself - I can't really direct other people's material.

Nothing tastes as good as the Taste for Life.

...but which of us has read every line of the Iliad, or the Aeneid, or The Divine Comedy, or Paradise Lost? Only men of epic stomach can digest these epic tales.

Forgiveness is the road of love.

We all have a purpose, or calling. If it's greed, hence, lies the wrong path.

If you want to make a friend, let someone do you a favor.

People who are wary of what they might find in a book if they opened one are right to be.

We can be certain that cities around the world will compete for the jobs that the next revival of the financial services industry will bring.

Don't punish yourselves for people's ignorant reactions to what we all are. Don't let ignorance win. Let love.

For me, philosophy is an activity of thought that is common to human beings. Human beings at their best.

I think that people think when you have money that your problems go away and everything's solved, and it's great and wonderful. You're a perfect human being.
