Sex is great until you die, but it's never as great as it was when you were a kid, when it was a mystery. ”

One of the scary things is that, when you're a kid, you look at your dad as the man who has no fear. When you're an adult, you realize your father had fear, and that you have it, too. ”

I think we all choose our style from the ether and whatever is out there. ”

Just like every show has a tone, every show has different people on it playing different games. I don't say 'game' in a pejorative sense, I just mean, these are different stories that we tell ourselves when we go to work. ”

I don't make decisions based on money. ”

I just spend my money on the essentials. Just basically food and shelter. ”

I love the ocean, wide-open space and trees, but I'm not a gardener or anything like that. I think I may be, eventually. I was raised in the city, so I don't have that skill set, but my heart is more with the dirt than the concrete. It's an unrequited love with nature - a one-way love affair. ”

I don't like the idea of being eaten by a shark. I like to swim in the ocean, and I think much more about sharks than anyone should. I really resent the fact that my oceangoing experiences are ruined by 'Jaws.' ”

I'm half Jewish, half Scottish. It's hard for me to buy anything. ”

I don't think of myself as a TV actor. I think of myself as a film, television and Off-Off-Off-Off Broadway actor. ”
