Interesting characters are troubled characters. The only problem I've had in my business is very few people - unfortunately, very vocal - confusing the difficult role that I play with me. I play these guys, but I'm not like them. I've been accused of being difficult to work with.

I probably complained more when I was younger. The movie industry can be frustrating but I think sometimes I could have been more helpful, approaching a film as a partnership rather than being critical of a director's ignorance. I wasn't sensitive to the fact that it's very hard to direct.

The audience and I have an intimacy that is, I believe, rare, most times out.

Mark Twain is a voice of truth and a voice of equality and a voice of tolerance. Which means he is a voice of love.

I have two children and they're young yet but all of the children that I know really inspire me.
