I Would Love To See A Sequel

The Network Wants You To Make A Thing That's Just A Stand-alone Episode, So You Never Get Any Character Or Continuity. This Is One Of The Ways In Which Television Can Actually Be Good, And Even Better Than The Movies, Because It Gives You A Chance To Tell A Long Story.

When I First Came To Hollywood, I Used To Dream Of Doing Films And Escaping Television.

I've Done My Share Of Reading About Abraham Lincoln, Throughout My Life, And He Wasn't Always Carved In Stone. He Was A Human Being. He Was A Very Thoughtful, Self-educated, Complex, Magnanimous Human Being, Who Was Very, Very Strong, Very Smart And Very Canny, With A Very Strong Sense Of What Was Right And What Was Wrong. Through All That, He's Become An Icon, Over The Years, And Some Of His Warmth And Humanity Has Been Lost. You Don't Tend To Think Of Lincoln As This Warm, Funny Person, But He Was.

A Great Deal Of My Battle, As An Actor, Is To Widdle Away The Things That Make Me Self-conscious And Try To Trick Myself Into Not Being Self-conscious.

I Can't Say That I Haven't Done Some Bad Acting In My Time. I Have. Usually That Involves What We Actors Call Indicating, When You Twirl Your Mustache.
