"Being an actor on a movie set is like going to the playground at recess."

"An actor has to be very, very careful, as one of the most wonderful props - and actors love props - is a cigarette. There's so much to do with it: you can bring it up to your face, play with the smoke. It's just the greatest - ever since I was 16 and in acting school in England, I've been playing around with cigarettes."

"The climate informs the character."

"I am a smoker, I'm ashamed to say. I had given it up for many years, then picked it up again. It's a horrible habit. I struggle with myself all the time. And I love to smoke."

"The power of television - it's so present in our lives, we don't even know how powerful it is."

"I have some close friends I keep in touch with. I knit. I watch a little too much TV. I ski, if the weather's right for that. If I can find a group of buddies, I go rock climbing."

"That's probably the biggest secret of acting: If the actor believes it themselves, they can make you believe it."

"There were not enough women like Kay on TV and now there are none."
