(On Art): "When I call myself an artist, please realize I do this with my tongue firmly implanted in my cheek..."

(More On Acting): "Good acting comes from finding the essence of a character."

(On Hosting a Talk Show): "I wouldn`t mind doing one on a computer screen, where you didn`t see anybody, you know, but you had just guests from all over the country and you tuned in in cyberspace. I think it`s the only place left. Do a talk show in cyberspace."

When actors get pigeonholed, that`s their own doing to a large degree. Because if you do something that people like, obviously they`re going to ask you to do it again. It`s up to you to say no. If you`re that insecure about working, you`ll probably do what you`re known to do.

(On Leisure Time): "Thinking fascinates me, and I probably spend too much time in my mind. My wife says that my perfect world is to be in the Suburban driving, with her next to me and the boys in the back seat and complete silence for two thousand miles."

(On Acting): "The medium doesn`t matter. I`d like to be doing quality acting in a quality role and making as many people as possible happy."
