I like to wear my dad's shoes to auditions as sort of a lucky thing. I feel like I'm on solid ground.

Some of the shoes I have are from movies - I have my workman's boots from 'While You Were Sleeping' - while others are shoes I've had forever.

I hate to admit it, because it makes me sound weird, but I'm Mr. Shoes. I own over 30 pairs.

I always come back to acting.

I don't like this instinct of reality television to wear your lifestyle in public. I've really always loved the anonymity of things.

I think I was born out of my time.

If I were born in the 1700s, I would look like a rounded man.

I never imagined myself in films. My benchmarks were performances I saw in the theater.

It's astounding how challenging plays are... The scary part is that you get to encounter humanity in a way you don't in films. The audience amplifies the experience.

Othello is someone who's just had a victory, and it's the aftermath of coming back and attempting to live comfortably as a civilian.

I think, when I'm 73, I'm going to be getting softer, writing Hallmark cards, losing my teeth.

If you are in an Edward Albee play, you say Edward Albee is the greatest playwright of all time... If you're in an Israel Horovitz play, you say Israel Horovitz is the greatest playwright of all time.

My family and I are hooked on 'The Searchers.' I can't get enough of it.

The first Westerns I saw as a child were those little 8-mm. home movies put out by Castle Films.

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 about Warren Wilson. You can gain a lot of very important things and skills that you carry over into whatever you decide to do.

This whole climate change and what it's doing to our environment is frightening to people.

Growing things and being able to live off the land has always appealed to me.

I was the kid who would join a sports team and be the biggest liability at first and a star player by the time the game got going. I just move very slowly.

I've always been what they call a late bloomer.

I want to be scary, boring, philosophical, funny, touching.

As an actor, you're continually riding the waves of whether you're in or out, getting work or not getting work, and Kazan was really a guy who was condemned into not working and looking to go deep into someplace and just live inside his art.

'Zabriskie Point' was a time when I was in a lot of change and flux, and these incredible visuals hit me like they had rearranged the organs in my body. The ending and the free-floating debris and everything is an image that burned itself in my consciousness.

I always feel like there are a lot of different types of favourites. There are some that I look to for interesting things, some that I look to for acting things, others that I watch again and again.
