I was making my living from a joke about my appearance that I didn't understand, and in a way still don't, because when I look in a mirror it doesn't seem funny to me.
In terms of number of movies, I've been in an extraordinary amount. If you count only the minutes I'm onscreen, it's not so long.
I am recognized a lot for Clueless, but I am recognized a great deal for The Princess Bride. I dont know... maybe everybody who has seen that movie just goes out on the street.
You know, I haven't written as much as most other writers. Certainly maybe those who keep a more regular schedule accomplish more.
I don't have a television, and I'm just not too up on television.
As writers, we can't predict who might come along who might find our offerings valuable.
Escape before it’s too late.
'The Princess Bride' is by far the most popular film I've ever done. I don't think I'll ever top it.
