I wanna be in action movies, I wanna be the tough guy... I wanna scare people.

It was tough doing ‘Underneath the Lintel’ in New Jersey in the wintertime, but rewarding. Those audiences were lively and interactive. On-stage was great, but off-stage was difficult.

Every role is challenging in its own way, but the most challenging roles are the ones that are badly written – then it’s completely up to you to come up with something that is interesting to the story and myself as an actor.

I’ve been very lucky not to have turned down too many roles that I’ve later regretted.

I have to admit I’ve rarely been happier in my life. I have been absolutely thrilled to be back in New York and living a block from where I grew up. Just to be back in New York and, quite honestly, away from Hollywood has been an absolute thrill for me. I feel like I’m a real actor again.

Listen – I like musicals. Even when they’re bad, there’s a couple of dancers I can watch.

I love David Fincher – even though it was just two scenes, I loved the way we worked and could tell by the way he was shooting it that this was going to be an affective movie to say the least.

I am one of the lucky ones; believe me, I haven’t forgotten that.

We are often too late with our brilliance. We are on time delay. The only instant gratification comes in the form of potato chips. The rest will find us by surprise somewhere down the road maybe as we sleep and dream of other things.
