“In the 60s, if you wanted to be an actor, you couldn’t do just one thing.”

I’ll have the chance to do a production number on A Capitol Fourth.

Every man over 40 should have a PSA test each year.

I was always this guy who appreciated and loved women and supported them and all those little things that were female-skewed, strong women parts.

People have a tendency to cast me more as lawyers and doctors and just rich guys, rich assholes basically, a lot of rich assholes. That’s what I’m normally seen as, you know.

You don’t have a lot of time to massage a scene into oblivion. It’s like you do it, you get a couple of good takes, and then you move on, so you have to be very spontaneous as an actor and have done your homework, and I like that.

Later, I even appeared in a Rock Opera with Richard Gere.

They say an actor is only as good as his parts. Well, my parts have done me pretty well, darling.

I always give one actor an emotion to make it very easy so he or she can root to it.

When I was a young actress, I was called in just to do my part, and I didn’t have any say or weight as far as any decisions go. But today, having worked as a producer and also having lived a little, I feel like I’ve found my voice more. I’m sure that it has influenced me as an actor and it will continue to do so.

Some actors come to the set ready to do their parts a certain way.

I’m an actor, and everything about me – the way I perceive things, the way I have seen the world – has been in relation to characters and how I would want to play something or not play it.

Actors don’t act, we’re just being in a different circumstance and scenario.

Being a good actor isn’t easy. Being a man is even harder. I want to be both before I’m done.

I consider myself a blue-collar actor, just chugging away.
