A fancy watch, it's completely unnecessary. I just need a watch to tell the right time.

I love the rehearsal process in the theatre, and the visceral sense of contact and communication with a live audience.

I always thought that the badge a cop has was more like the shield that Captain America has. It's an obvious sign of good and something you'll protect other people with, but it will also protect you.

The movie that's had the most effect on me is Jaws. To this day when I'm in the ocean, I'm hearing that music.

Young alienation, disappointment and heartache is all a part of the first real growing up that we do.

With failure, you just try again.

Ice T was just a pleasure to work with. He was a smart gentleman.

When I was in college, all the pretty women were in the theatre, so I auditioned for a play.

It is a career of make-believe, of masks. We all have masks in life.
