Oh, I'm dying to play Donald Trump someday, just because he's an unbelievable character. I'm a character actor; that's what you look for: outsized human beings.

Everybody's a dreamer.

The theater is my power center, and I love doing it in New York.

I was in 20 Shakespearean plays by the time I was 20.

I find I have to walk a little faster in public these days, but it's very easy to remember when nobody had any idea who I was.

We moved around a lot when I was growing up. I was always the new kid in class, but I was good at making friends. With an upbringing like that, I was either going to become an actor or a politician. Thank God I became an actor! I'm not cut out for politics.

I actually was very proud of 'Dexter' and had a wonderful time doing it, which must make me an extremely weird person.

I went to Princeton High School when I was very serious about being an artist.

Powerful people are always in charge. You have to acknowledge that and deal with it as a reality. They're not devils. They're not monsters. They're human beings, like us, that have their share of insecurities and fears. You have to contemplate that as you go through life.
