What I loved about playing the corpse is that obviously somebody else got to do the physical part. It appeals to the part of me that likes playing character parts and getting the chance to get away from my own physicality.

It's kind of nice to play somebody that isn't psychotic or half-machine or dead or dying or on a spaceship somewhere.

I like to play people that are real, a real person, and then something that's interesting with that person. I think it's a lot more challenging to do that than something that's extremely fantasy-like.

If I was like some of the characters I played, I'd probably be dead by now.

I really like playing people who are exciting to watch and who burn brightly.

Everyone I used to play with has either given up or is dead.

If you play dead often enough, you've got a great will to live.

I like to feel that something's alive in acting, like something's really going on.

I have literally played the most interesting parts since I turned 40.

Most of my life I have played a lot of famous people but most of them were dead so you have a poetic license.
