I've turned my guest house into this little studio, and we have actors come over and do readings.

Even if I don't have a job, I work on plays and scenes.

People work harder when conditions are worse.

This was one of the places people told me to go, it was one the big trips that you should see: Alaska.

How can you say when you're attracted to something? It's not easy to articulate my tastes.

It's an important fact of life, war.

Well, of course I would choose to be the top scientist in my field.

I, uh, don't think I'm, y'know, so different than your average, y'know, average.

It's mysterious what attracts you to a person.

You never know in a movie if it's going to be a sequel, but right now I'm proud of what we produced.

It's nice to play a character that has a soulful, dependent, close relationship. It must mean my character is interesting in some way.

It's best not to stare at the sun during an eclipse.

No pay, no Goldblum. That's it.

I thought, this is a good sign. There's something perfect and right about this.

If any movie people are watching this show, please, for me, have some respect. You wanna sell some tickets, act like you know what you're talking about.

To be able to always have a super sense of who I was and my own real identity and be petty and seem informed and always thinking in thoughts would be great.

It's a delight to trust somebody so completely.

No matter how you travel, it's still you going.

Well, Well, Well, its certainly a compelling provocative exciting delicious to think about idea, smart people say the universe is so big there must be something statistically it could be likely there could be something happening on some other world.

Hawaii can be heaven and it can be hell.

At the end of the movie all of us have this shared redemption.

I travel for work, but recently, friends said I should take major trips.

The movie feels to me like a real work of lovely art.

My friend Ed Begley goes fishing. It's a little smelly to me, I don't like it so much. I like to eat fish, but I don't like to catch them.

It's not charming to go on a show and say, I dunno. It doesn't fool anybody. There's nothing glamorous about it at all.

I love to be directed. They can trust me and go.

I don't go to these places where there are belly dancers and this and that.

The original settlers of Alaska apparently were Russian.

I love the ocean. Boats, not so much.

I now, more and more, appreciate when I'm in a group of good people and get to work in good movies and projects. I'm wildly grateful and appreciative.

Going back to the noir fiction of the 30s, 40s and 50s. It's very contemporary.

Actors love mental disorders, dialects, and corsets. Give them one of the three and they're happy.

What's fascinating is that when you write a script, it's almost a stream of consciousness. You have an idea that it means something, but you're not always sure what. Then when you get on the set, the actors teach you.

Young actors often don't think of the consequences of doing nudity or sex scenes. They want the role so badly that they agree to be exploited, and then end up embarrassing family, friends, and even strangers.

I've seen many actors go awry by making the wrong choices early on.

Actors are able to trick themselves into treating anything as if it's fantastic. It's a kind of madness really.

David Cronenberg knows what we actors do as artists.

I like doing them and they're ridiculous and the actors can improvise a lot, and they don't have to be really realistic characters that hit a very specific tone as in a feature film. They're really fun, I want to make more of them definitely.

I'm not in the business of becoming famous. And that's the advice I give to younger aspiring actors. Work onstage and do the little roles. In the end it's not important to be seen. It's important to do. There's a lot of disappointment in this business, but my family keeps me grounded.

Actors get pigeonholed very quickly, particularly movie actors. In the theater, one is more used to casting people against type and trusting that their talent and skill will get them through.

Comedians are not usually actors, but imitations of actors.

I was very pleased you know, and I was afraid that I might stick out, but I didn't. My happiest thing about that picture is that I proved that American actors can speak as well and also fit in with an ensemble like that.

I've worked with a lot of really fine actors, both on stage and on screen. The level of their game lifts me up and brings the level of my game up to theirs. Always. It's like a constant upgrade.

I feel like I'm the most well-adjusted character on the show, even though I'm sure the other actors would tell you the same thing about their characters.

There's a constant flow of child actors. It's kind of funny to watch the new crew come through. I think, You poor little things. You're going to have to struggle for a long time.

I'll miss the relationships I have built with these actors. I'll miss the devotion we have to this work. Over this length of time, the tendency is to think it will never end.
