I think my parents were happy that I'd gone to university and gotten a degree in history so they thought, 'Well if acting doesn't work for him, he can always become a history teacher or something.' Fortunately, the acting worked out. ↗

I've been a professional actor now for 38 years. A long time. And it's wonderful to earn your living doing something that you love. To think people actually give you money for it! ↗

They were totally supportive, always saw everything I did. One of the thrills of my life was when they went to the theater to see something that I wasn't in. It opened doors for them that otherwise would have been totally closed. ↗

I like to take on the thing I don't like at the moment. I like to find something that looks wrong or feels off, something that I would never have done in the past, like brocade. And then all of a sudden, if we can make brocade work, then we've really done something, because I hate it. And that's just a reference. I don't actually hate brocade. ↗

I think there is something about luxury - it's not something people need, but it's what they want. It really pulls at their heart. ↗

It's sometimes said that I'm rebellious and I do things to push people's buttons, but I just like the challenge. ↗

Sometimes I miss hamburgers, I should say that. I miss the tuna pizzas at Mercer Kitchen. ↗
