• “I don't get off on romantic parts. But I often think if I had had my dental work done early on, well, maybe.”
• "Ernest Hemingway once wrote, 'The world is a fine place and worth fighting for.' I agree with the second part."
• "I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up DOES rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend."
• "You do what you are...You’re born with a gift. If not that, then you get good at something along the way. And what you’re good at. You don’t take for granted."
• On his choice of roles: "I like being eclectic. The more varied the better; the wider the range."
