    • Oliver Platt: (on seeing footage of himself) I'm not a big dailies guy. I don't like to be reminded about myself. Especially when I'm kind of a pretty extreme character. (...) And sometimes I find myself, sprinting away from the monitor because no one warned me, because just for me, I don't want to see that kind of stuff.
    • Oliver Platt: (interview in 1999) I've got a wife and three kids, so film is just the most viable thing for me right now. I still love the theater, but the commitment in time and energy to do live theater is so great, and, frankly, the financial rewards are just not as attractive. When you have a family, you have to think about those things.
    • Oliver Platt: (on the Writers' Strike 2008) What we're looking at is the writers who create this stuff are not getting compensated for it. I wish I could hand all of my iTunes content back because I've now been educated to the fact that the people who write it don't get anything - which is ridiculous!
