I'm built like a 14-year-old boy. I have no waist, so anything I wear has to have a lot of trickeration going on. I don't fit into girl dresses. I can't just slip it on.

I'm not in shape.

As I have gotten older, I've discovered the joys of being lazy.

I read books more than I go out. As a matter of fact, I get a little concerned about some of my anti-social habits. I will choose a night with Somerset Maugham or Russell Banks over a crowded bar any day.

As a matter of fact, I get a little concerned about some of my anti-social habits.

Children are like crazy, drunken small people in your house.

I play a scientist in a futuristic world in which 99% of the men have been wiped out. As a result, the women are nearly all homosexuals and the children are cloned.

It's a war of attrition. If you have patience and a modicum of faith in yourself your chances are not too bad.

I'm so not stylish by nature, but I've learned to work with what I have.

My parents had an old-fashioned ideal of college, that four years at a liberal arts college should be a liberal arts education.

I had many decades of me time and now I just don't have that anymore. There are days when I rail against it.

There's an expression: Great is the enemy of the good. Sometimes in trying to be great, you make a mess of things.
