I don't know how to play myself. I'm not interested enough in myself. That's just not how I was educated. That's not how I learned to become an actor. Acting is creating a character.

I believe that love that is true and real creates a respite from death. All cowardice comes from not loving, or not loving well, which is the same thing.

It's funny I'm in some ways hopelessly masculine, but I don't fish, I don't hunt, I'm not that into sports. I can't fix a car. I think it's my point of view and the way I see the world.

I'm an actor, in particular, that likes to have a mask or something that can help me distance myself from the character. Like the moustache or an accent.

Yes, Im a New Yorker, born and bred. While Im not quite the L.A. snob that Woody Allen is, I do find myself happier in New York.

I don't know an actor who hasn't let himself down at some point. I imagine it's the same in politics. There's always the potential to self sabotage.

It's sort of cliche, but when you're playing drunk, your character is trying to appear sober.

I really feel incredibly fortunate to not be stereotyped. And it's something that I and my representatives are very keen on preserving.

Having an opportunity to play different characters, and work in different mediums, that's what's fun. The worst question you could be asked is, "What do you like better, film, television or theater?"

Bad criticism has followed things like comic books or TV, and they put down a medium. A medium cannot be inherently good or bad.

Certain media attracts more pulpy or low-brow things, especially when they're young. Finding the best story, in any particular medium, is going to be as good, in any other medium.

Some people, no matter how easy the path they are given on the walk of life, will find a way to mess it all up. Ray Levine was one of those people.

Nature with equal mind sees all her sons at play sees man control the wind the wind sweep man away.

make away out of no way

I thoroughly believe that reading and literature can help a society to better understand itself.

It is not worth while to try to keep history from repeating itself, for man's character will always make the preventing of the repetitions impossible.

We have invented the literature because the reality wasn't imaginative enough and we also wanted to be alone, at least for a while!

A deep truth is a truth so deep that not only is it true but it's exact opposite is also true.

Victory comes only to those prepared to make it, and take it.

Everyone Has A Will To Win But Very Few Have The Will To Prepare To Win

That which moveth the heart most is the best poetry; it comes nearest unto God, the source of all power.
