I really like playing people who are exciting to watch and who burn brightly.
I think the business affairs people at the studios get some kind of perverse satisfaction in finding the worst hotels for actors to stay in.
One of the reasons a lot of actors go into the business is that for a short period of time, you get to be other people who you can only fantasize about being, by and large.
I couldn't do the same job for 30 years. That would make me want to kill myself. Other people do it and they're very happy doing it, but for me, that's not what I want. I like changing things, all the time.
If you're going to lead people, you better know how to manipulate people, and you have to be pretty smart to be able to do that.
One of the great things about drama is that it makes you feel like you're not a crackpot, and that there are other people who think and feel the way you do.
When you're dealing with killing people and things that are upsetting, that can be a delicate place to occupy yourself for a day.
You know, people aren't watching a network: they're watching cable channels.
