There’s a pace in TV I like.

It’s a lot more fun for actors to cry and rant and rave, or have a drug problem or a drinking problem.

Home Alone was a movie, not an alibi.

I know I wouldn’t want to be him, … I guess that’s where I stop and he starts.

I think the choice of actors that we have is a little more varied and rich here in New York than in L.A..

All my life, since I was 16, I’ve been wondering where that next job was gonna come from.

Big feature films are another world.

I don’t like to dwell all day over one scene as you do in a big feature.

I like to work fast.

Now I take the summer off, relax, and I know that at the end of July we’re gonna start another season.

I used to say when I was working in the theater that if I ever had five seasons of a hit TV show I’d never have to worry about money and wouldn’t have to do...

You’d say, ‘All of these shows couldn’t have been running at the same time. Not ‘South Pacific’ and ‘Mister Roberts’ and ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ and ‘Death of a Salesman’ … yeah, they were.
