I've really been blessed to have these roles in movies that will last forever.

One of the things I enjoyed the most is just working as an actor.

I've grown tremendously as an actor by being there. It is comic writing the likes of which I don't know that I'll ever see again and it's been a great, great experience.

I, also, found the opportunity to work with the actors extremely gratifying and rewarding.

I'd love to be remembered as a character actor who brought illumination to roles in wonderful plays and who delivered performances that made people think and rethink those roles.

I didn't ever think about being an actor. But I fell in love with it when I realized how amazing, difficult, and interesting it is.

Other acting opportunities had come along, but nothing that was tantalizing enough to me to step away from what I found most interesting.

For me, the performance was always playing different people. And so when I got older, was no longer the romantic leading movie star, it became more and more interesting for me, the characters I played, you know?

All of the actors that have served to me as inspiration over the years have been those more associated with dramatic work who have, in turn, been able to embody their characters and lose themselves in those characters that they create.

It was when I was on stage that I realized that acting could be such a brilliant job.
