History's a resource.

Courtroom dramas can be boring.

Doing the right thing has power.

I certainly didn't have a nanny.

To be too knowing is a downfall.

I love working closely with people.

Ask "why" until there is no more "why."

Cancer is so much bigger than a TV show.

I get cold - really cold - when I travel.

The good thing is that I'm always honest.

I find the whole disdain for ageing crazy.

Working with special needs children is hard.

I crave a cone of silence every once in while.

I grew up in Manhattan on the Upper East Side.

You have to relish the challenge of television.

I don't think you should exploit your own pain.

The entertainment industry is terrified of silence.

That's my favorite food group: donut. I love the donut.

The goal seems to me at times just to be business first.

Tanning is tricky, because a lot of people just look orange.

Just because you're not famous, doesn't mean you're not good.

A magnetic personality doesn't necessarily indicate a good heart.

My parents were divorced and I would spend weekends with my father.

I hope that anyone I worked with wouldn't exploit our relationship.

I don't consider myself a celebrity and I don't consider myself a star.

I'm very hard on my bags because I tend to carry a lot of stuff with me.

I don't consider myself a celebrity, and I don't consider myself a star.

Some people's personalities are so compelling that they command attention.

I don't mind aging. I mean, my whole thing is, it's just a privilege to age.

Fear, anxiety and neurosis: that's just in the suitcase when you're an actor.

I had learning disabilities, and I couldn't express myself in the written word.

I just want to say, 'Go work! It doesn't matter what it is. Work begets work. Just go!'

I've seen the greatest actors in the world, transcendent talents, who can't find a home.

I'm noise-sensitive. It's always better for me if things are quiet, so I can concentrate.

You know when someone's over-flattering you in a way. You smile but you can't believe it.

My experience is that's rare - that you have a script that is... what they call 'film-ready.'

I had a good imagination and I still have one; a child-like imagination that hasn't gone away.

I tend to make low-budget movies but, yeah, I make more money than I ever thought I would make.

I'm not someone who likes to have my picture taken, let alone see it plastered all over the place.

Fame didn't happen to me in my 20s, it has been a gradual thing which probably makes it easier to deal with.

At school I was always trying to con my teachers into letting me act out book reports instead of writing them.

I always laugh to myself when I listen to some really big A-list star saying that they are just a normal person.

What I love about a play is that it's such an investment because only time can create a lot of what happens onstage.
