There's a point where art is not subjective, and my example for that is Picasso. If you don't like Picasso, that's your problem.

Also, in my acting, I feel very much like a storyteller, exploring the flaws of the characters that I interpret. I look for the imperfections, and I love a character that is just so flawed.

I seem to play a lot of losers.

Sometimes film is just the family business. Some families are generations of carpenters or farmers, or they make clothes, or they're all lawyers. I'm in the family business.

In a way, all actors are gypsies, or much like a traveling circus.

I consider myself a storyteller, not really even an actor. I consider myself a storyteller.

I resisted the film business as long as I could, because of the big circus act and the amount of money that it costs to make films - I saw my father suffer through that.

I loved painting and drawing for many reasons. One of them was that all it really required was me, a pencil and a pad. It was something I was passionate about, and still am.

When I was really young, I shot a lot with my Super 8.

The whole thing of doing a TV series, I find it very daunting not knowing where the story's going.

I started as a director and just fell upon acting.

The World is quick to label you, but it will take ages to take a stand!

I may like easy choices, but I appreciate the difficult ones more.

If you don't have a viable strategy, you will be defeated by someone who does.

There's an impression that actors make a lot of choices. I just take what's there.

Ed Sullivan will be around as long as someone else has talent.

Don't look down on them for looking down on us. Look at them, instead, as friends we don't know yet and who don't yet know what they are missing in not knowing us.

After years and years of accumulating papers, I keep feeling that I should give them to the library or something because they are beginning to overwhelm me.

I dress a little strange. I dress a little theatrically.

Perfume is that last and best reserve of the past, the one which when all out tears have run dry, can make us cry again!

Once you think about it, aren't the people who are living their lives without worrying about other people's opinions having more fun than those judging them?
