The movie that's had the most effect on me is Jaws. To this day when I'm in the ocean, I'm hearing that music. |
I went to acting school in New York City for two years. I studied with Stella Adler. |
I am very grateful to make my living doing what I would do for free. |
All of the directors I've worked with I have loved and would work with again. I have no favorites. |
It is a career of make-believe, of masks. We all have masks in life. |
My first love is acting on stage. A sitcom is a hybrid of stage and film. |
It's still a bottom-line business. You can be out of control, and if they want you, they'll pick you. And you can be a mensch, and if you're not the product they want, you won't get it. |
Death is not my best subject. |
It's great to work with people that you like, any job, no matter what you do. |
When I was in college, all the pretty women were in the theatre, so I auditioned for a play. |
I love the rehearsal process in the theatre, and the visceral sense of contact and communication with a live audience. |
I'm involved with Recording Artists and Actors Against Drunk Driving. I'm also involved with most children's causes, because children can't help the environment they're in. |
My closest friend is canine. I have precious few close friends, and most of them are not actors. |
I find it very difficult to relax. I find it increasingly difficult to find outlets for my frustration. |
I like being a villain. Villains are more exciting. |
I always thought that the badge a cop has was more like the shield that Captain America has. It's an obvious sign of good and something you'll protect other people with, but it will also protect you. |
I don't have any blindness when it comes to my money. As an actor, you can get distracted by your work. I do keep an eye on my nest egg, if you will. |
Catcher in the Rye had a profound impact on me-the idea that we all have lots of dreams that are slowly being chipped away as we grow up. |
