early exists ideal last nearly particular traffic view
Discovering L.A., in particular in the early '80s, was pretty spectacular; it was fun and carefree, and there was not nearly as much traffic as exists today. It was very much the last gasps of the Beach Boys' ideal view of L.A.: sun, the beach, cars, blondes, etc.
darker face innocent less pleasant shakes smiles strange stranger
L.A. is a very strange place. On the surface, it has an innocent appearance, like the stranger with the pleasant face that smiles and shakes your hand. But then you learn it is actually a lot less nice than you think, and there's a whole deeper, darker level.
beating lifetime people starts three
Three years is a lifetime in Hollywood. If your career starts slipping in L.A., you can really feel it. All of a sudden, the people that you were beating for a part start beating you.
blast definitely harder maybe perhaps spent worked
I had a blast in the '90s, perhaps too much fun, and maybe I should have worked a lot harder and partied a lot less, but I definitely don't regret the 12 years I spent living out in L.A.
apart elizabeth movies people remember stop
If you stop and think about who was in the 'Lassie' movies, it's difficult to think who was in them, apart from Elizabeth Taylor. You remember the dog, not the people! So if you're going to be in a movie, and it's called 'Gremlins', it's going to be about Gremlins, and what people are going to remember are the Gremlins.

An actor is working steady if he's active four to six months a year.

Being on a lunchbox was awesome, and being on a thermos was pretty cool, too.

I like to work all the time and really immerse myself in the project.
england love pop
I love England and I love English culture, particularly English pop culture.
beat force hard people room substitute
There's no substitute to actually being in the room and having people in the room feel the force of your audition. It's very hard to beat that.
invested
You don't get as invested in someone in 90 minutes as you do over 13 hours of television show.
angeles came full los moved time
After 'Gremlins' came out, I should have packed up everything, moved to Los Angeles from New York, and dedicated myself to being a full time film actor. I had the world at my feet.
horror kid love relationship stuck theater watched
I have a complicated relationship with the horror genre. I love it; I loved it as a kid growing up, and I watched Chiller Theater in New York. So I loved it, but then you do feel if you do it too much, you're stuck there.
dated dating egos knew match people per quite rule star ton tried
I knew a ton of actors and was friends with them, but I never dated actresses. I tried to date 'normal' people because the Hollywood dating rule is 'one star per couple' because it's quite a challenge to match the egos of two actors.
