"It's glamorous when a movie is released, but then you feel disconnected from it. Someone asked if it wouldn't be more glamorous for me being on Broadway rather than Off Broadway, but I thought, 'What's the difference?' The Orpheum is a smaller house, that's all. And there are no mikes, so you just talk louder."

"I had wanted to be a movie star and had thought I would be a movie star since I was very little. It was just something I saw in my future. But somehow when it happened, I wasn't ready for it."

"I think films are harder because you have almost no rehearsals. I love the rehearsal process, but in films you have no opportunity to get things right. You may never get it right in theater, either, but at least you have the opportunity to make it better. In films, I'd go home at night and think, 'Oh, God, that's how I should have done the scene.'"

"My life has gotten so much better since I turned 40."

"When I go out with my 16-year-old friends, I don't wear Chanel."

"I chose my wife, as she did her wedding gown, for qualities that would wear well."

"I wear anything of culture, from the Earth or beyond. The whole planet is my shop."

"I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it, on the inside."
