I guess show business is a lot like baseball: Wait until next year! You just never know. Some of the shittiest shows I've ever seen run forever, and some of the best things never get a chance.

I always liked to go to Vancouver to shoot, because I think Vancouver's a beautiful city.

I was lucky enough to be a type. Sort of a bad-guy type at the time, because I was tall and I had dark eyes. A lot of times, you don't have to be good you just have to be the right type.

I also remember that Snoop Dogg visited the set in New York, with a joint in his mouth that looked like a cigar. There's your anger management. I thought, Isn't he going to get arrested? It was like he lived on another planet. God bless him, he was very nice. Who wouldn't be nice when you're that stoned?

I always had to rely on humor and sarcasm. And when I started having kids, that doesn't work with kids. Kids don't understand sarcasm, and they certainly don't understand my humor.

When real actors are approaching their work, we could be on a little stage somewhere, doing community theater. It's all the same. They're just trying to make the scene work. They're just trying to do the best they can and figure it out.

I was selling real estate at the time, in Pacific Palisades, California, so imagine that: getting a note and a bottle of champagne from Jack Nicholson when I'd barely made a dime as an actor. It really kept me going.

Show business is a great place to fail upward... and I guess that's what I've done.

The best thing to do, if you really want to be good, is drink vodka all day, from the second you get up to the second they say, Cut!

I just don't feel like - I've never felt like - part of the entertainment industry. I still just feel like I'm trying to work my way in. And that's weird.

Why focus on what somebody might think? Nobody talks [on TV] like people really talk most of the time.

When you're working, nobody's a star. We're all just actors trying to figure it out.

I started out old, but I have to say that I've been very lucky to work consistently since I started. I've really never been out of work.

I had no idea that, when you audition for television or movies, you go to a big building - like, an office building - and you walk in the room, and everybody, I assumed, was smarter than me and better than me, and there's actors you recognize. I once fainted at an audition.

I suppose there are a lot of people who'd kill to have my career, but I still feel like a fan.

Without being good enough, I started figuring out how to make my way through the minefield of a script, which is what it was to me at the time, and the rest is semi-history.

You don't go to Berkeley to become an actor. In fact, I don't think you go to any school to become an actor. You've just sort of got to go out there and act.
