Personal Quotes

I hate to tell you this, but there's an entire subset of people out there who think of me as quite a dull actor. And that's the word used, and often - dull.

(First date with Patricia Clarkson): Patty and I were always acquaintances. We didn't really know each other, but we respected each other. And then we just saw each other one night -- it was after the Roger Dodger (2002) premiere at Tribeca -- and we hooked up.
