"I think men, probably out of their childhood, romance is cowboys and Indians, romance is Robin Hood, romance is flowers for the girl and passion in the night without all the responsibilities that that passion provides, conceivability. I'm not saying all men and I'm not saying all the time. Eventually we do learn to deal with commitments, hopefully. But this character that I play in the movie has never dealt with it."

"I have an ex-wife who married one of my good friends. We have a daughter who is now sixteen. I was very much this, a vagabond gypsy, because of the theater and what not and my romatic notions of how it should be."

Inspired by film: "Last Tango in Paris" was the first time that I realized that there was an art to film making and that there was a craft to acting."
