I'm a workaholic.

I miss my family, and I like being a tourist when I go back.

I can't do anything else. So if this falls through, I'm screwed.

The more varied the characters, the better, as far as I'm concerned.

A character I would love to play is Iago, from Othello.

I think every director has a different take, some are good, some are bad. The directors you get on best with sometimes don't make the best films, so who's to say who is right.

Bring back dueling, I say. Drive-by sword fight.

Certainly coming to America has been extraordinary.

Ilike ideas writers have that I might not have written. Writers are there for a reason... to write for me.

Everyone is an abused child, if you think about what governments do.

Doing comedy for film is always a challenge because you are in the hands of the editor after the fact. I am hoping I can do some more soon, I enjoy doing comedy.

There is less pressure as a character actor. It generally means that you will be acting for all of your life, which is my intention. It is not my intention to just be a rich and famous person, that would be pretty boring.

I have come close to producing films. But generally by the time they hit the screen, there's about 50 people with producer credits, so what's the point. I usually find scripts I like with no money attached and take them to producers that I know and try to raise finance.

I will watch everything that Cary Grant did, or Kubrick made or Bergman.

The first role I ever did... I played a Nazi skinhead.

I started off on stage because it was the only work I could get. I haven't been back for 11 years. I think any stage experience is good experience, as far as being an actor is concerned.

When you know youre whoring it hurts. I have kids. I'm not going to run down an actor for doing this.

There just seems to be more acceptance now of... other kinds of British films, than the picture-postcard ones.

I'm a workaholic.

You read a script and its based on 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'Pulp Fiction', and it goes right in the bin.

If you meet somebody who's spent any length of time in prison, you don't let your guard down. Ever. And really, that's what that was about-if you open up too much, you're asking to get your teeth kicked in.

I'd seen musicians act, and it scares me. And they make more money than me.

I'm sick of very white teeth and lots of gymnasium practice. I'm bored, you know, send in the next one. I wanted a real man that I could believe was my brother, my father, you know, my next-door neighbor - a real person.

Well, I think first it was rare for me to do anything that had any kind of a romantic note to it.

I don't care to analyze acting. On the other hand there is a fascination because distributors are putting out British films. You get films here with great performances you'll never see again. Why compare. We should go after the businessmen.

How would you compare Polanski or Kubrick? I try not to do any comparisons.

I get invited to an awful lot of Jewish functions.

Extra work sucks. Get out quick.

Ethics is obedience to the unenforceable.

Have enough sense to know, ahead of time, when your skills will not extend to wallpapering.

In rating ease of description as very important, we are essentially asserting a belief in quantitative knowledge - a belief that most of the key questions in our world sooner or later demand answers to 'by how much?' rather than merely to 'in which direction?'

Life is much like flying a Kite, you never know what direction the wind is going to blow and how many twists and turns there will be before the flight is over!

Oh, yeah, I see the world differently now. Actually, when I first had the baby, I was breast-feeding him for two years straight. So we were together for two years of his life, every single day, all hours of the day. So I was two people, and I eventually morphed back into one.

I allowed artists to play for as long as they felt they could justifiably continue to create.

Re-examine all you have been told. Dismiss what insults your soul.

If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with.

Comedy is like math - you can check your answer because you know you've gotten it right if you get a laugh. It just makes sense to me. I feel like because I've had to keep that tool in my box for so long, I'm ready to show it off a bit.

Reality shows always look for the worst people.

I was working in customer service and had a verbally abusive boss. One day, I decided to quit and pursue my acting passion with everything I had. One week after quitting, I booked 'One Life to Live.'

I think our Savior wants us to be happy on this earth. That's why we're here is to have joy.

Old soldiers never die, they just fade away

George Jones was my all-time favorite singer and one of my favorite people in the world.

I write literary, not commercial, fiction - or so I've been told by my publishers who are proud I write literary fiction but secretly wish I wrote commercial.

Once in a while, I bump into a knitter, and we have a lovely conversation. But if you figure out the number of people who know me and the people who don't, it's really a small number.

The research included neutron resonance spectroscopy, the angular distribution of pion elastic and inelastic scattering on nuclei with optical model fitting.

In the last century, I earned my living as a librarian, and I loved it. I'd have to take some classes to get up to speed with 21st-century librarianship.

Nick and Simon had come to a natural end of their working relationship with Warren, which obviously opened the door for a reunion of the original five.

Men will bear many things from a kept mistress, which they would not bear from a wife.

Circumstances do not determine a man they reveal him.
