The only way to grab the attention of the audience is originality. We feed ourselves with franchises that's the opposite of what makes our culture multidimensional and interesting.
I've always wanted to have my own studio because this is a way for me to finally take all things that I've always dreamt about and actually put them into action.
A lot of people have been bent one way or the other on that. I'm not going to weigh in on that; I'm happy to still be at large, I'll just put it that way.
I say yes to almost anything that comes my way.
I expect that everything I do will be not watched or not seen. That way, I'm never disappointed when I become flooded with that reality.
There are always great deals of humanity in the characters that have been offered to me.
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.
Let me put it this way: I definitely need to understand the villains I play. The best cause pain to anesthetize themselves against their own pain.
Really, I was such a late bloomer, I really didn't learn how to be me until I was in my late '40s, which is when I started playing roles that were closer to me.
I think in the early part of my career, the roles were so disparate that it never gave anybody an opportunity to understand my essence and what I would be good at doing, as opposed to what I would not be good at doing, so these little moments of beautiful things that were happening to me were consistent, but very few and very far between.
Every time you get on a stage or in front of a camera, the whole exercise is about imagination. You're constantly depicting something that doesn't exist, and trying to find the reality of it. Once you settle on that premise, everything else is a matter of degrees.
I couldn't make it on the swimming team in high school. In fact, I got thrown off the swimming team and was forced to audition for the school play because they had at the audition about 35 girls show up and no boys, so my swimming coach suggested that I might be able to do the drama department more good than I was doing the swimming team.
You back a big cat into a corner and somebody is going to get bloody.
Season 4 can be deadly for a show that's been a hit show.
