I always come back to acting.
If I were born in the 1700s, I would look like a rounded man.
I'm a very discriminating shoe shopper. I only look for something special. In fact, I don't think I've ever bought two pairs at the same time.
I'm not the first one to say it, but that time onstage is a heightened sense of present tense.
I've always been a fan of George C. Scott, who was working in movies when I was in college... films like 'Patton' and 'Hospital.' I was really impressed by him, and I had seen him onstage as well in 'Uncle Vanya.' He was a champ to me.
I never imagined myself in films. My benchmarks were performances I saw in the theater.
'The Virginian' has a very important romantic story line that you don't find in a lot of Westerns... At the heart of the story is quite a bit of pain and a sense of loss.
I love to prune. I have a physical need to do things.
I've always been what they call a late bloomer.
I went to school in the 1970s, and there was a lot of physical theater in those days.
I think, when I'm 73, I'm going to be getting softer, writing Hallmark cards, losing my teeth.
I have gotten a number of invitations to be on television shows as 'the dad,' but that was Kryptonite to me. I was like, 'This would be the death of me. I'll be a cesspool of niceness.' It doesn't feed me.
'The Last Seduction,' 'Sleepless in Seattle' and 'While You Were Sleeping' did a lot to get me noticed for bigger roles.
I enjoy that with theater, you can just go into a room with a paper bag lunch: there're no cables, no electricity. It's the purest experience.
This whole climate change and what it's doing to our environment is frightening to people.
I've never really been a television watcher and watched comedies, and I have gotten a number of invitations to be on television as the dad.
There's something that comes into you that's so exciting when you're directing.
I love that vein which uses sci-fi to address society's problems. It is the same when you have useful nightmares - things morph, and you get to confront issues in your dreams.
I don't like this instinct of reality television to wear your lifestyle in public. I've really always loved the anonymity of things.
American audiences and European and Asian audiences are so different.
With modern medicine prolonging life no matter what condition you're in, it seems like we're working towards immortality by science.
The idea of taking classic American stories and reinterpreting them for a time and place is not just commercially viable. These stories also carry a sensual nature of what it meant to be an American, and they deserve to be reinterpreted.
I've always wrestled against being typified in one way or another.
The military is a discrete entity. Then they come back, and they're such a small percentage of the population, and they can't really - it's hard for them to talk to civilians.
