Dynasty was the opportunity to take charge of my career rather than waiting around like a library book waiting to be loaned out.

The body is like a car: the older you become the more care you have to take care of it - and you don't leave a Ferrari out in the sun.

I've made no secret of the fact that I often wear wigs and have in fact launched my own 'Dynasty' range, named after various characters. I find this saves a ton of time - as well as my own hair.

I'm a great believer in poetry out of the classroom, in public places, on subways, trains, on cocktail napkins. I'd rather have my poems on the subway than around the seminar table at an MFA program.

My grandma always said that God made libraries so that people didn't have any excuse to be stupid.

You can take charge, kick ass, do whatever you have to do and it's okay. You can blow people up. These are things that are okay for cartoon characters to do.
