In many films, as many different characters, I've killed many different people.

I especially object to having my character assassinated by reference to events from my past which bear absolutely no relationship to the question of who the anthrax killer is.

I'm always willing to endure humiliation on behalf of my characters.

I didn't know how to kill off a character unless I was able, as a narrator, to get really complicated. Because it was a big deal. I'd never killed a character before.

I don't think I will do a Mafia character again. I want to get away from the violence a little bit, because it is starting to bother me personally.

It's never easy with characters in these dark and grave circumstances but that's my job.

I'm a character actor.

Because I killed a guy in real life, and because my character kills a guy onstage, they said I could never do anything this great again. I resented that.

In my life, I've dealt with tragedy.

I think if you've held onto a character for several years and then you're getting rid of that character, it's going to be traumatic.
