The luxury of television is that you get more than one shot at who you think the guy is that you're playing.
I don't think that I've had a career like anyone else's, but there are hosts and hosts of actors whose careers I admire.
I will not do a role that I don't think I can do, that I'm not interested in, where there's no humanity, that doesn't have any kind of handle for me at all because I know I'll just stink the joint up.
I just think that there are those people that their resolve is strengthened by what it is that's keeping them down, and there are some people that will buckle under it. You never know which one is which until you get into the eighth or ninth round of the fight.
I think now that I'm in the autumn of my life, and I'm getting a chance of having an overview and looking at the shape of how things happen, when things happen, why things happen, I think it was fitting that I spent most of my early career doing mask work, because I just don't think I was that comfortable in my own skin.
I think there are a lot of technocrats in the business who would much rather work with just wheels and gears and machinery. Those things interest them more than humanity and I wish them the best of luck.
Some of the great characters that I've played had to be transformational.
You can change the circumstances but you can never change man's inner nature.
Well, I love acting, and I love acting quick.
Yeah, it's nice to get paid for therapy rather than having to pay $240 an hour for it.
You know, I don't read the blogs, or go on the internet, and I really just don't know what people are saying because... well I guess I'm afraid to.
It's really disgusting what Hollywood can do to a guy.
I've had biker clubs reach out to me whenever they knew I was in their city.
You do what you gotta do. This is not heart surgery. I'm not curing cancer. I'm just trying to put my kids through school.
