Television is kind of restrictive in its directing, but it would be nice to get some chops doing TV.

To me, it's the kiss of death when you start winking at the audience as an actor. I just never liked it. I don't like it when we do monologues, looking into the character.

Most of my career up until the last couple of years has basically been a training ground for me. Actors that came up in the '50s and '60s, they had the theater, and television was in its infancy.

Sometimes a b.f.f makes you go W.T.F but without them we'd all be a little less richer in our lives .

There are few joys to compare with the telling of a well-told tale.

Whether they did or didn't, America was certainly safe between 2000 and 2008. I don't remember any terrorist attacks on American soil during that period of time.

Preserve my artistic creativity and ennoble my artistic fame.
