I remember that. I was talking to him and I said how great it would be if actors had a tail because I have animals and a tail is so expressive. On a cat you can tell everything. You can tell if they're annoyed. You can tell whether they're scared.
It's impossible for me to play a part without thinking about the audience.
I live sort of in the country and I like that. It's very quiet, it's beautiful.
I don't need to be made to look evil. I can do that on my own.
My father was a lesson. He had his own bakery, and it was closed one day a week, but he would go anyway. He did it because he really loved his bakery. It wasn't a job.
I've never made a movie I wasn't surprised to see.
I don't carry lucky charms, but I believe in those things.
When you're onstage and you know you're bombing, that's very, very scary. Because you know you gotta keep going - you're bombing, but you can't stop.
There's something dangerous about what's funny. Jarring and disconcerting. There is a connection between funny and scary.
Obviously an actor draws on his own experience.
I play disturbed people a lot, but always with a bit of distance or tongue-in-cheek. Most of the villains I play are essentially harmless.
I think I'm getting a little bit of Alzheimer's. Just a little.
Movies are terrifically optimistic enterprises.
I used to love Danish. My father used to make a Boston cream pie. You never see that anymore.
