I think (Mamet) seduces people in the first act into thinking that it's a comedy, in a sense, ... But then it turns around and becomes very dangerous. He's created a language here that appears to be natural but is much more heightened. It's realism in the best sense.
I jumped into acting because it was fun. It was tougher when I had to take my fun seriously.
If you're an actor in your heart, no matter how much money they shove at you, it doesn't matter if the work doesn't provide that creative spark. You want out.
As an actor you appreciate the security of a job. But I don't ever want to get too comfortable.
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.

It's not that I'm asking for that, and I don't know how to explain it. I just think there's room for the disenfranchised. I don't think we have to sweep it under the rug.
It's terrible. We're starting to look like Hong Kong, or Singapore at worst. Pretty soon you won't be able to throw a piece of gum on the street.
New York used to be so much more than just a place to shop. It was life on the street for the eccentrics; it was an eccentric city. It had many different tastes. Now it's just one - a really rich one - with big tall glass buildings.
