“I'm not a Method actor. I'm a kind of 'what you see is what you get' actor.”

“Comedy is a serious business.”

“I think the most liberating thing I did early on was to free myself from any concern with my looks as they pertained to my work.”

“The first thing I think of when I wake up is, what's for breakfast?”

“It's a great advantage to be able to play people who are unapologetically themselves.”

“I've never been a big believer in just throwing the camera on actors and letting them go.”

“The stage is a wonderful place for an actor. You have a direct, immediate connection with the audience.”

“I think every actor should go back to the theater. It's a great training ground.”

“I'm not a workaholic. I'm a work-approver.”

“You can't really control what people think of you. You just have to do your own thing.”

“I'm a character actor, but I look like a leading man.”

“I love the theater as much as I love the movies. It's a different muscle.”

“I think we all have a lot of different personas in us. We're not just one person.”

“The most fulfilling thing for me is when I'm able to somehow transport an audience.”
