I was married very young. I lived a very middle class life. I was married at age 21, divorced at 31. I didn't sleep on people's couches.
I never get tired of hearing compliments.
In animation, there's this exhilarating moment of discovery when you see the film and you say, Oh THAT'S what I was doing.
Books make great gifts because they're something you love that you can share.
I went to Princeton High School, when I was very serious about being an artist. I was in a theatre family but I didn't want to become an actor.
I keep looking for things I haven't done yet.
You kill three people, they call you a murderer. You kill a million people, they call you a conqueror. Go figure.
I'm a con artist in that I'm an actor. I make people believe something is real when they know perfectly well it isn't.
If my life was a play, age 35 was my intermission.
The most exciting acting tends to happen in roles you never thought you could play.
Time sneaks up on you like a windshield on a bug.
Take care, be kind, be considerate of other people and other species, and be loving.
What you aspire to on a sitcom is the feeling of live comedy.
I have a lot of faith in people.
