If I had spent as much time in the weight room as I did designing football uniforms, I probably would have had a free college education.
I always liked clothes; since I was very, very young, I was interested. I studied costume as part of my theatre education.
I probably have more female friends than any man I've ever met. What I like about them is that almost always they're generally mentally tougher, and they're better listeners, and they're more capable of surviving things. And most of the women that I like have a haunted quality - they're sort of like women who live in a haunted house all by themselves.
I'd hate to see any film I'm involved in fail, especially artistically but also business-wise.
I was never a fanatical movie person.
I don't really have a comprehension of being a public figure.
I'm more boring and more conservative.
I don't have a saviour or a royal family.
I haven't physically attacked anyone in a couple of years.
I'm not a control maniac.
I don't wake up drenched in sweat because I haven't been on stage in years.
Along with the good qualities, if someone isn't vulnerable I can't be around them to a certain extent. And I don't mean vulnerable to me or vulnerable to me in a sexual way. I just mean vulnerable, period.
I am inspired by the appearance of a bohemian of the new millennium.
Theater is so ephemeral, and I love that.
