Actor

My parents were both actors; my dad sort of quite early on. My mother acted for a while, and now she's a painter.

I'm originally from San Francisco. I might move there some day. But, I like L.A., I have fun in L.A. It's a fun town if you've got money in your pocket. It's a good town.

You hit 41 and you don't burn calories like you used to.

Hollywood constantly wants to label you and type you into a certain category, 'Oh he's a comedy guy,' or the weirdo character guy or the villain.

I think any good actor is an anarchist. They have to be.

Clark Gregg and I are around the same age. He has been an actor and is a writer. But with a first-time director, there is a way to talk about things they might not know. Because Clark was an actor, though, he knew more about the process than most first-time directors.

I remember being very influenced by 'Taxi Driver', and also Tommy Lee Jones in 'Coal Miner's Daughter' a little bit.

I have memories of films that nobody ever saw, that I was very proud of, and those are still great memories.

Good acting is good acting, however you learn it. Some people who haven't studied are amazing. Some people like Leonardo DiCaprio are naturally gifted - he's learned technique by working with people early on.

It's fun to improvise, but I still think it's better to have a great script, you know, like a Charlie Kaufman script.

I think of myself as a journeyman actor. I've got some talent and I work hard, but people like Brando or Pacino - those people are touched by God.

I've done so many independents for so many years. Leads that nobody's seen.

Well, you know, it's fun to sign autographs still for me. I don't sign that many.

I did some martial arts training for 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind,' since the character was an assassin.

I think a lot of theater actors that were great, like Walken or Glenn Close, later became film actors.

After 40, you want to reverse the ageing process. That's complicated for me because I spent so many years wanting to be older.
