To me, there are things you're good at and things you're not so good at. For some reason, I'm good at darker characters. It has to do with how you look.

I became very critical of zoos and circuses and keeping animals in captivity. I wish it was against the law.

I got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell.

I'm better off not socializing. I make a better impression if I'm not around.

At its best, life is completely unpredictable.

There's something dangerous about what's funny. Jarring and disconcerting. There is a connection between funny and scary.

No, improvising is wonderful. But, the thing is that you cannot improvise unless you know exactly what you're doing.

I try not to worry about things I can't do anything about.

We have no way of knowing what lays ahead for us in the future. All we can do is use the information at hand to make the best decision possible.

I play so many villains and strange, troubled people. I don't have that kind of life. I live in the country. I've been married nearly 50 years. I have a cat.

My father was a lesson. He had his own bakery, and it was closed one day a week, but he would go anyway. He did it because he really loved his bakery. It wasn't a job.

And didn't time always slow, anyway, the closer you came to what you wanted?

Nobody sees anybody truly but all through the flaws of their own egos.

I hate being alone, even for 10 minutes.

I think that there's gonna be a lot of work to do in order to consolidate the transformations that I was interested in.

She figured if you weren't woman enough to carry your doughnuts with pride, you shouldn't be eating them.

I let my boy go and do and say pretty much as he likes, as, and perhaps because, my father kept no string on me.

I love going to galleries, particularly the National Portrait Gallery.

The fans have been great with me. I think they appreciate that I don't take an at-bat off.

Strange, when you ask anyone's advice you see yourself what is right.

...why were you happier when you were a kid? Because you didn't know anything. The more you know, the sadder you get.
