I was never a juvenile lead or a romantic hero, and I didn't come into my own as an actor until I was 40.

Onstage, I was never the ingenue.

I guess I've never really had a great desire to be a leading lady, or be seen as an ingenue.

I love to be the lead, but you can't always be the lead.

I've never been innocent, but I don't think I'm a bad kid! I didn't get voted prom king. I was kind of the dancer, the performer, but I was always very athletic, too.

If I had my way, I would never do a leading role.

I was one of those guys who never wanted to start their own business. I never saw myself as a leader. I saw myself as a great No. 2.

I wasn't into acting when I was a kid. Maybe because I was shy or it didn't occur to me.

I had never had a positive leading character - somebody that wasn't an antihero, or who wasn't more of a guy that you're supposed to be on the side of.

I always thought of myself as a character actor. I never thought of myself as a leading man.
