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.
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.
I don't do a hell of a lot of publicity. I find it nauseous. I feel like a blithering idiot and your friends are laughing at you.
Mr. Big has been sticking to me, and that makes me uncomfortable. I know it's meant well when people stop me in the street and say, 'Hey, Mr. Big!' But I don't ever want to be identified by any part I've played once it's over.
Since women ask me about male motives all the time, I can offer a bit of advice. If you feel like you're going to get hurt then you shouldn't be there in the first place. That's the way I look at relationships.
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.
Republicans will destroy the country... that comes from a Republican sensibility, which is to destroy the fabric of the psychological well being of most men. They have gotten too involved with making money. They do not understand the real values, the democratic values, of the emotions and the commitments that are the basic drives that nourish us. This is why you should not vote Republican.
Maybe in 20 years, when Disney rots and looks like sort of a pornographic version,
'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.
From what I've heard about Israel and its sites, landscape, beaches and historical and religious heritage, it is a wonderful place to visit. I told my friends that I'm going to Israel because I'm a New Yorker, and a New Yorker goes to Israel.
Look, I'm a huge supporter of Obama's - he's the first president I ever donated money to. But I think in terms of climate change and the environment, he's been, at best, disappointing.
I never talk about my private life. When you're in this business it becomes so precious. I don't understand when people open up about themselves to the press.
Cable has become something much bigger than expected, ... so that when a show like 'Law & Order' is seen three times a day, five days a week ... when you get that kind of exposure all the time and don't get paid anything, there's got to be something done.
Dick Wolf made me an offer I couldn't refuse,
