Does Barry Manilow know you raid his wardrobe?
It's still a bottom-line business. You can be out of control, and if they want you, they'll pick you. And you can be a mensch, and if you're not the product they want, you won't get it.
You can be knocked down, but it doesn't mean you're out.
I find it very difficult to relax. I find it increasingly difficult to find outlets for my frustration.
It is a career of make-believe, of masks. We all have masks in life
Ice T was just a pleasure to work with. He was a smart gentleman
I like the way the old Toyotas look
I love the rehearsal process in the theatre, and the visceral sense of contact and communication with a live audience
I have adopted clothes from all the projects I'm in. It's really been a while since I've bought anything myself
My closest friend is canine. I have precious few close friends, and most of them are not actors
I went to acting school in New York City for two years. I studied with Stella Adler
I always thought that the badge a cop has was more like the shield that Captain America has. It's an obvious sign of good and something you'll protect other people with, but it will also protect you.
I don't know if it matters what country you're from, size of the city you're from, urban or rural, there are people that are hurting each other everywhere.
I like every single actor or actress in the world, because we never know what the conditions are like when they are working. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt and root for them like a psychotic sports fan
