• On acting: "This is what acting is for Gary. It takes time and requires solitude. There is a certain process he can do only in private. Things work themselves out just as he's falling asleep. Or in his car, he talks to himself as he drives along, going over stuff. What he is waiting for, he calls The Cloak; the cloak of inspiration. It's when the process kicks in. One moment you are looking for the character, the next you ARE the character. You know what they're thinking because you know what YOU'RE thinking. The Cloak, sometimes it can fall early, sometimes it can fall late. You always wonder if the next time it'll fall at all."
• "I don't think Hollywood knows what to do with me. I would imagine that when it comes to romantic comedies, my name would be pretty low down on the list."
• "We're given a code to live our lives by. We don't always follow it, but it's still there."
• "When I cry in a movie, they're my tears ... If you're stirring up emotions inside of you all day, it affects your mood. You come home and it's not easy to have a beer, put your feet up and watch TV. It can wear you out. It's a nightmare on relationships."
