Scary monsters are like Hula Hoops. They come in and out of fashion.

I never wanted to be with someone who just hung around the house.

Anybody doing something brings something to it. It's not for me to say if it's growth. Just by the nature of everyone has a different take on the material. Some people would.

Much of what you do as an actor - it's who's around you, what's the environment, where do you fit into this thing. That's really work that's impossible to do on your own, at least for me. I find it hard to pre-plan every element of everything I do. It's not my thing.

I grew tired of religion some time not long after birth. I believe in people, I believe in humans, I believe in a car, but I don't believe something I can't have absolutely no evidence of for millenniums. And it's funny, people think analysis or psychiatry is mad, and they go to church.

Chicago my favourite American city. I'm very much a typical midwesterner, and I don't think the condition is curable.

In New York in the Forties or Fifties, everybody's in a suit, an overcoat and a hat.
