I got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell.
When I know that, if I have no inspiration whatsoever, when I come and I just feel empty, I have nothing, I know that I can still play the scene.
You know ... acting is not very difficult, once you know how to do it, ... And that's ... so beautiful, because you can say that about anything: It's not difficult, once you know how.
My father was a baker and a lot of people do what their families did and I could have done that but I wanted to stay in show business.
When you're an actor, you do a lot of the same kind of thing. It's great when someone gets you to do something that's a little surprising.
They are funny and also they're funny together. They're a very good team. I wouldn't be surprised if they made more movies together.
And I remember sitting in my car, listening to that night ... when Kennedy and Khrushchev were facing off and it was very scary.
It was a wonderful movie. Very popular. Many people saw it. Oscar.
There are certain directors where you know you're going to be good or you're not going to be there. There are people where you kind of know that if you miss the mark then it'll probably not be in the movie and that's very reassuring.
It's what actors call a big, juicy part, when you're a leading man. I don't get a lot of those. I get a lot of supporting things.
I was never a child actor. I was a child performer.
I'm better off not socializing. I make a better impression if I'm not around.
I think that if I had grown up and had been in show business and the movies twenty five, thirty years earlier, I think I would have made a lot more musical movies.
