I don't understand how somebody wouldn't have a sense of humor about themselves.
A dog that has rabies probably will do things it wouldn't do if it didn't have rabies. But that doesn't change the fact that it has rabies.
It's not a gift of mine, but one given to me, to be able to criticise myself and not be crushed, by myself or by others.
I wouldn't describe myself as lacking in confidence, but I would just say that - the ghosts you chase you never catch.
I always wanted to be fashionable.
It never occurred to me to be an actor.
I'm not a very skeptical person.
I'm not a psychiatrist. I'm not treating patients.
I'm a little bit of a fabric lunatic.
I was a very good baseball player and football player as a kid.
I think with actors, if you just don't set about trying to crush their confidence immediately, you're usually OK.
I have probably four or five male friends who have a real strong masculine side but some degree of a feminine side, too. They're pretty rare, whereas I think women with a masculine side are much less rare.
I think 1973 was the nadir of fashion. When you watch the coverage from that era, you're struck by the astonishing ugliness of the clothes.
I mean, a lot of time rehearsals are taken up with other things other than preparing a character.
