I've always loved Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness movies.
George [Lucas] wanted to know whether we'd be interested. He did say that if we didn't want to do it, they wouldn't cast another actor in our parts - they would write us out.
I think theater has given me the opportunity to show what a character actor I can be.
I think 'Comic Book: The Movie' is the apex of my career in terms of making a personal statement that has significance to me and resonates with biographical detail about not only my career, but all the people that I've worked with in my career. All of it's riddled, on- and off-camera, with people I've known and worked with for decades.
You know those actors who have a sense for how they should be used? I don't think I have that.
I miss live audiences, because it's like no other form of entertainment, where the audience is a major part of the production every night.
When you say 'comic book' in America, people think of Mickey Mouse, and Archie. It has a connotation of juvenile.
There's something fascinating about watching artists draw.
