• It's much more a matter of playing the characters as they were written by the authors, because of the liberties that have been taken with pretty much all of them. They've all been distorted in one way or another, because the authors have hardly stuck to the facts.

• I think that if you get too close to the character, if you do too much historical research, you may find yourself defending your view of a character against the author's view, and I think that's terribly dangerous.

• My career has evolved at its own peculiar pace, American careers are supposed to have a much more singular direction than I've been able to... stomach. Really. In most careers you find something you do well and you tie an increasingly larger bow on the package. My interests and obsessions have always been so wide-ranging that I keep popping my head out of different boxes as much as possible.That's far more interesting for me.

• I’ve always tried to make them amusing, which gives them a bit more edge.<br>It’s like people being drawn to the scene of a car crash.<br>They’re drawn to extreme behavior…I think people secretly long to be a bit more explosive or act out much more

• I don't fear death. I try to avoid it — as I think we all do. But I suspect that in the end I will welcome it. … I think it may be very comforting to go bye-bye. And I want to earn it. … I want to earn the privilege of not being here. … I'm not galloping towards it.
