Once an actor told me he went to the Shakespeare School of Acting, and I said, ‘I went to the Shakespeare of Acting, too’ and he said, ‘Oh really?’ And I said, ‘I went to Shakespeare Elementary School in Chicago.’ He didn’t take the joke well, he didn’t laugh and didn’t think it was funny - I thought it was funny.

I guess I could say I’m an actor, which I am, but that sounds like I’m putting down being a movie star, which, let’s face it, is what I’ve become to many people. For myself, I’m a guy who was very insecure from about age 14 until the day I hit my 30th birthday Picture Quote #1

I like working fast, but I got to the age where the real difference between television and the movies is, I’m not smart enough to be in the movies. It’s a very political world. In all modesty, I can say that I’m a much better actor, but that doesn’t matter Picture Quote #1

My mother always tells me that when I was a little kid, my first ambition was to be a truck driver, and after that, I went through everything from wanting to be a Prime Minister to an air hostess, but never an actor.

Working with Al Pacino was an amazing experience. He’s such an amazing guy. He’s an incredible performer and actor - and, aside from that, just a generous human being Picture Quote #1
