“My early career was a real rush of movies and stardom – it was almost overwhelming.”

I would say I am more concerned with the plays I’m going to do than the movies.

I don’t care if it’s a walk in the park, a look out the window, a good bubble bath – whatever. Even a meal you like, or a friend you want to call. That helps us solve all this stuff in our head.

Larry Grobel has the illness of all writers, he can’t help himself.

I just wondered how it would feel, how people would treat her, but she’s adjusted so marvelously.

I could work and get to know him and have him help me with the text, the script and become him. It’s almost like a painter having a model to become.

A good warm bath can be one for you, or a whatever.

I thought it was time to show some of it, to show some of my feelings about things and what I preferred at the time. I prefer them still but not to the extent I did at the time.

When I was a younger actor, I would try to keep it serious all day. But I have found, later on, that the lighter I am about things when I’m going to do a big scene that’s dramatic and takes a lot out of you, the better off I am when I come to it.

I’ve had very deep relationships that lasted for long periods of time with people.

My best advice to any young person is, if you want kids, be careful who you have them with. That’s my mantra.

I’ve always been in the theater. I’ve always gone to it. That’s been my way to cope.

The difference between the actor and the painter is that the actor would buy somebody a knish in order to have them watch him act.

The substance is almost invisible to us.

Human-caused climate change threatens almost every aspect of human existence.

This is one of the magical things about drawing – it gives us almost visionary moments of connectedness.

Almost all the bars in Southeast Asia are lady bars. The listener and participants who interact and frequent the clubs are exclusively male who become actively involved with the ladies, not the music.

An almost hysterical antagonism toward the gold standard is one issue which unites statists of all persuasions.

I have done almost every human activity inside a taxi which does not require main drainage.

I came to a stark realization: chronic surpluses could be almost as destabilizing as chronic deficits.
