“There's a pace in TV I like.”

“Big feature films are another world.”

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

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

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

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

“'Home Alone' was a movie, not an alibi.”

“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 anything I didn't want to do.”

“I like to work fast.”

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