“I don't have any artifacts of my profession in my house; the Oscar is in storage…” — William Hurt

I am constantly asked, 'What's the difference between acting in the theater and acting in film?' The only answer I can give is the space - you adapt to the space. But acting is acting.

When you are a kid, you are beset by fears, and you think, 'I'll solve the fear by living forever and becoming a movie star.'

Rage with panache.

For as privileged an actor as I have been, TV as a standard is short shrift. They have to do it so quickly that they don't stop and take a look. They just shoot. So that's one of the reasons I typically stay away from it. I think art is an act of consideration, and if you're not considering, I don't think you're really doing mankind a favor.
