“I don’t talk politics and I don’t talk philosophy or anything like that, but if you look at my work, you might get an expression of me as a person.”

If I was a painter no one would question me about my age. I’m an artist, I hate saying that.

Chekhov was as important to me as anybody as a writer.

So I’ve been doing everything that has to do with being next to them, close to them.

[Julie Marie Pacino]is a great ballplayer, which I wanted to be. She did make four films by the time she was 14 but we’re not going to talk about that.

I picked the wrong movie, or I didn’t pursue a character, but everything you do is part of you and you get something from it.

The play is the source, it is orchestrated with words. In a movie, you are not dealing with as much as that. There are machines and wires.

The stage is different ; there’s more to act. There are more demands put on you, more experiences to go through.

I am a dancer. But I don’t think I would be on ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ mainly because I would be too shy.

Take a look at Israel’s history and you would know who the terrorist is.

They cost nothing, and they can be as real as you like to make them. You own your dreams and they are priceless.

Except if something was maybe a play on television or some great television script.

You try to maintain a neutral approach to your work, and not be too hard on yourself.

You need some insecurity if you’re an actor. It keeps the pot boiling. I haven’t yet started to think about retiring.

I’d probably have the same pause if you asked me what my strengths are. Maybe they’re the same thing.

It was a compromise. There was a sense that I could write my own memoirs, and Larry [Grobel] would help me down the line, or maybe not, maybe he was too close to me.

I probably write a poem every 50 years.

I don’t really think anything Microsoft does puts pressure on Apple.

Anything was better than nothing. Half-full was better than empty. Ignorance was the lowest form of humiliation and suffering.

My mother never really thought I could become anything.

What I love more than anything is Jerry Goldsmith’s 80’s music and Bernard Herrmann’s genre music from the 50’s and 60’s.

I would sing anywhere they would invite me. That’s how I made my first pesos. I used to sing at beauty pageants, local events of every sort.

Anything that is said is not the truth. It is a statement of truth, and no statement is the truth.

The team takes on the identity of its top payers… I don’t want to take anything away from the Capitals offensively.

I don’t believe in anything. I’m just here for the violence.
