I always liked the Raiders of the Lost Ark. I still want to be Indiana Jones.
Hollywood is not good when it comes to age.
I don’t really think of myself as quirky; I have sort of an unusual sense of humor.
The difference with doing a play is that you are in control. In film you are in the hands of the director and the editor and the producer.
I get very caught up with things. I used to be dominated by domestic things. I had a lovely house in LA-and it became this growing, mad obsession.
I don’t think the women in the TV series are really like that. It’s certainly not my personal experience of New York women.
I’m pretty, for lack of a better word, happy-go-lucky. I take things very seriously, but I’m very aware of people around me. I like to be part of a group that’s working together towards something positive.
I do hang on to things. I was so happy my father saved his army jacket. I grew up wearing that all through high school.
I can’t help but feel that stuff that comes to me by chance or on purpose, whatever, tends to reflect where I am as a human being.

I can move around the floor, but I don’t know if I’d call that dancing!
I already felt disengaged with my contemporaries.
Helmut Lang does a lot of very military-influenced things. You have to find the designer that suits your body the best, and he works for me.
I’d like to do more Shakespeare. I’d like to do Iago in Othello. I look so benign. It would be interesting to see that black evil come out of my soul.
As an actor, you’re always in situations that can be compromising. But you can wipe away that gray area by making a choice.
Apparently, when Twin Peaks was on the air in Spain, something like 50 percent of televisions were tuned to it.

I questioned everything. I didn’t see a character developed in Platoon at all. The character in Blue Velvet was much more fascinating to me.
I’ve done Graham Norton’s show three times now. He tackles taboos and subject matter that wouldn’t make it past the censors in the States.
For the time it takes to make the film, you are treated like a cosseted pet. Then the process is over, and you’re hung out to dry. It’s like being a mink.
