I sort of understood that when I first started: that you shouldn't repeat a success. Very often you're going to, and maybe the first time you do, it works. And you love it. But then you're trapped.
Now comes the part where I relieve you, the little people, of the burden of your failed and useless lives. But remember, as my plastic surgeon always said: if you gotta go, go with a smile.
Acting is everybody's favorite second job.
I'm content with the fact that I made a decent effort. That's what I've always worried about: that I wouldn't try hard enough.
I have a lot of vanity.
I'd give my goddamned soul for just a glass of beer.
My only emotion is gratitude, literally, for my life,
I resist all established beliefs. My religion basically is to be immediate, to live in the now.
Just let the wardrobe do the acting.
I am a person who is trained to look other people in the eye.
Most of the early part of an actor's career, you do the jobs you get.
I'm the age where we didn't have television as kids. So when I saw my nieces and nephews watching Howdy Doody, Kukla, Fran and Ollie, and so forth, I thought the world had gone mad.
I guess this proves there are as many nuts in the Academy as anywhere else.
I am in an age group where it is rude to discuss money, and now it is all anyone cares about.
