Donald Fagen Quotes

The Internet, which at first seemed so fascinating, appears to be evolving into something even worse than TV, but we'll see.

I'm not that complicated as an actor. I have a formula in which I work, yeah. But not like Sean Penn does.

You manifest different levels of your own personality to come up with a character.
