"I've been nominated twice before as actor in a leading part. Now I'm nominated as actor in a support..." — Alan Alda

I used to be a Catholic. I left because I object to conversion by concussion. If you don't agree with what they teach, you get clobbered over the head until you do. All that does is change the shape of the head.

My background is on the stage, so when I'd write movies, they'd be a lot like plays.

No matter how big the audience is going to be. I'm interested in doing things that are fun.

A really great actor, in a lucky performance, can transform himself or herself. I've seen actors do that. But often it's a mechanical transformation, which isn't as interesting, and you've got to be careful how you go about something like that, I think.
