We have no way of knowing what lays ahead for us in the future. All we can do is use the information at hand to make the best decision possible.
Older actors, and women in particular, are getting more opportunities. It pleases me, its very good news for us. They say that people are living longer, and maybe it's just that there's more of us out there.
I've done a lot of things I cringe when I watch and some things I'm proud of... Movies are strange. You have to be a little bit lucky with them.
I've made one or two movies that I haven't even seen, because they were never released. I have made things that I never even saw. But I will always go see the movie I'm in.
Yeah, well I've always played comedy. My background is musical comedy theatre and that's really where my training is. As an actor, that's my training.
The minute I start to talk about acting, I realize that I can't. You know, it's an abstract thing, a little bit mysterious even if you do it for a living.
Everybody has to be a little lucky, I think.
Emotional power is maybe the most valuable thing that an actor can have.
My hair was famous before I was.
I have a friend of mine who does me on his answering machine, and when I call him, I answer. It's pretty strange.
I've made a couple of movies in the jungle, and I don't want to go back to the jungle.
Bear suits are funny - and bears as well.
I have made a number of movies that I have never seen. It's not a matter of ego. It's a matter of being disappointed. It's really a shame. It's just as difficult to make a movie that no one cares about as to make a hit.
It's true in most movies I don't use my own voice.
