I don't like it when people ask actors to work for free - on the fringe - as if it's some kind of virtue. That annoys me - actors should be paid well.

Moderate people are able to be moderate and have free speech only because there are some people on the fringe.

So many people ask me, 'Do you like 'Departed?' I say, '50/50.'

Being an actor is well paid, but it's a bit like being a circus traveler.

When you get paid to do something you would do for free, work becomes play.

Actors are all different. They're not all volatile. Some are sweet, some are volatile, but what is fundamentally in there is something that has to be paid attention to, in that they are, I would say, needy.
