They tend to lay dormant for a while but often come back, and then the cheques come in!

Commercial jobs are pretty easily adjustable because they only take a few hours to complete, which is one of the reasons they are a Godsend to the actor.

With a recent birthday, I've been acting now for twenty years.

They tend to lay dormant for a while but often come back, and then the cheques come in!

I'll often rush out from Dark Shadows, having made a 5.30PM appointment, working for a couple of hours.

I think we've established a convention on the show that allows us to do pretty much anything we want to.

I think I have between twenty and thirty commercials playing at present.

I've played four characters now, my latest one being Sandor the gypsy.

As an actor, I was just satisfied to work.

Dan Curtis, our producer, has the idea that people like to see a stock company of actors.

There's a certain gravity in Stokes, due to the situations I have to handle.

People are messy; therefore, relationships will be messy. Don't be surprised by messiness.

There's some great women doing TV. I would love to do a Grey's Anatomy-type show. I'm a big fan.

I do limit my exposure to the public. You only have so much time.

Most people just ‘hope’ to meet their targets, while few have clear and strong intention hence they achieve it.

We spent last night listening to Liverpool football team on the radio, wanting them to win so badly. Paul supports Liverpool. He was Everton for a while because of his family - but it's all Liverpool now.

That's what makes writer's block so painful. You think the well has run dry, maybe somewhere in the heavens the tap has been turned off. That's beyond frightening.

Fulfillment in life is loving a good woman and killing a bad man.

I think that Indy is special to me. The greater the distance between the last time I drove an Indy car and the next time, I wouldn't like that to be too big.

Surrounded yourself with brilliant people. You cant HELP but grow when that happens.

You want to mix acting styles correctly. People approach the work in different ways. You want to make sure no one wants to kill each other because the approach is different.

Since Sven Goran Eriksson took over, England have been fantastic.

A belief is purely an individual matter, and you cannot and must not organize it. If you do, it becomes dead, crystallized; it becomes a creed, a sect, a religion, to be imposed on others.

There's always constantly interesting things to do, and who knows, maybe I will be a good sculptor. I haven't decided what I am going to do next, but I am not going to quit just because I did something interesting.

Dance looks absurd on film, I think, like little puppets moving around.

Sometimes you can learn things from the way a person denies something. The choice of lies can be almost as helpful as the truth.

Very often a job will come along that speaks to the place you're in as a person at that very moment. And usually once I've done it I feel like that part is over.

Chirp of coward shouted in crowd dare to speak but not to be known.

I'm aware that given what I've done in the past - and having a well-known parent - that people will be very quick to judge my path more than others, but I have to just not care.

Everyone wants quick deals. They don't want to invest.

With repetition, the alternate approaches become clear, options open.

I've been acting all along. I understand that I haven't been in people's viewers, but acting has never not been a part of my life, just more time in between and less high-profile.

You know how we can be about things which sparkle and shine. We imagine they will put back something of what has been lost.

There is no word more generally misinterpreted than the word egoism, in its modern sense.

I really believe that the movie will never be as good as the book, both because the book goes on longer - a movie is basically an abridgment of a book - and because books are internal. But they are incredibly powerful. The visual format is, you know, amazing.
