Quote: "I felt very much at home on the stage, more so than off it because I could express everything that I couldn't express elsewhere - yes, anger, but also tenderness․ It's not always easy to be as gentle as you wish to be․"
Quote: "I've always felt as an outsider․ I've been rebellious against any iconoclastic thing․ It's true about the industry, but also about society as a whole․ I don't blame anyone, but I think that society is negative in that people are terrified to be free․ I was born on the edge of the mountains in Kentucky and now although I live in Hollywood I still feel more related to nature․ It's an attitude․ I have a pool, but it's to do laps in, not a status symbol․"
Best known for his work as a character actor
Has frequently worked on projects with director David Lynch
