By my third year of Law and Order, I was climbing the walls. But you don't leave a hit show, especially when you have a five-year contract.
It's over. The franchise is dead. The press killed it. Your magazine f**king killed it. New York Magazine. It's like all the critics got together and said, 'This franchise must die.' Because they all had the exact same review. It's like they didn't see the movie. Got any more gum?
We talk about, you know, diet and that we shouldn't give our kids big things and obesity and fast food. Well, you know there are people who don't have that problem because they're not getting any food! We have so many deep problems and issues facing humanity.
As an actor you appreciate the security of a job. But I don't ever want to get too comfortable.
At least Manhattan, in terms of danger and eccentricity, is much more of a theme park now. You couldn't really shoot the old Law & Order in New York today. It's a different city.
Law and Order' is completely story-driven and completely characterless, really. If you do that format for five years and you're an actor, you're bound to get bored. It wears on you. And it was really wearing on me.
You look around New York, and we are surrounded by restaurants and food trucks, and we celebrate food in this city like no tomorrow.
People are so phobic and crazed about this word 'commitment.' It's weird. Everyone has taken this word to a new height of morality.
I never wanted to be the lead on a TV drama. It just robs you of your life, really.
I don't want to be identified by any one role I do.
I don't mind demanding women.
I don't know the politics of Hollywood. Am I hungry for great material? Every actor is. How I can get to it, that's another story.
I always get involved with the environment because once you go past the tipping point with the environment, you don't get it back.
At this point in my life, I like the security of a job, while still having time for my young son and to pursue other creative work.
