I have a suicide impulse.

I learned more about elections on election night 2000 than I ever did during my 16 years of schooling.

Once I found out how much an Off-Off-Broadway actor makes, I was whoring myself out the next day.

If you have a secret, people will sit a little bit closer.

Please don't refer to me as "channeling Mark Twain." I'm an actor. Not a channeler. That word is an iPhone shortcut. Acting is more eloquent than that.

Mark Twain cannot be defined.

I don't play golf. Mark Twain is golf to me.

I don't have a director. The audience directs me.

I walked the streets of New York for two years begging for a job, and I couldn't get one.

I've had a very full career in the theatre, on stage, in films and on television.

There's no good guys and bad guys.

Look, see, learn, become a citizen of Mankind, not just Hannibal, Missouri. That is the message of [Mark] Twain.

We don't have truth delivered to us very often, especially in this very commercialized world.

Man is the religious animal. He is the only one that's got true religion, several of them.

Success is no longer content. It's how it sells.

I like to be who I am.

To communicate with each other, we got to get mad at each other sometimes.

I tended to lean toward character work. I love to disguise myself.

There was so much to learn and it was all fun. But the best part was getting a laugh from an audience. That was like drowning in candy.
