What Is Chess, Do You Think? Those Who Play For Fun Or Not At All Dismiss It As A Game. The Ones Who Devote Their Lives To It For The Most Part Insist That It's A Science. It's Neither. Bobby Fischer Got Underneath It Like No One Before And Found At Its Center, Art.

I Think That All Of Us Either Lose Touch With The Child Inside Us Or Try And Hold Onto It Because It So Precious To Us And It's Such An Extraordinary Part Of Our Lives.

I Think The Actor Has A Tribal Role As The Archetypal Story Teller. I Think There Was A Time When The Storyteller, The Priest, The Healer, Were All One Person In One Body. That Person Used To Weave Stories At Night Around A Small Fire To Keep The Tribe From Being Terrified That Sun Had Gone Down.

We Are Adjusters. We Empathize, We Change Rhythm And Above All We Listen To Our Fellow Actors-if They're Good Actors.

There Is Always Something About The Villains That I'm Able To Play, Quote Unquote, That Isn't Villainous.
