I've turned down a lot of roles to make time to record and tour.
I find there is something very intimate about being the voice in someone's ear when they're driving.
I still find it quite easy to find my way into a child's imagination. We're all Peter Pan ourselves in some respects. Everybody should keep some grip on childhood, even as a grownup.
In most careers, you find something you do well, and you tie an increasingly larger bow on the package.
Any part that makes you world famous has got to be a blessing, hasn't it?
I remember candy rationing until I was, like, 7.
I think that if you get too close to the character, if you do too much historical research, you may find yourself defending your view of a character against the author's view, and I think that's terribly dangerous.

He couldn't understand why I was tired at the end of a shift. My dad had one run a day. I don't think there's a guy anymore that goes home fully rested. You go home tired.
You can't stay away from the theater too long.
