Guys who are larger than life and theatrical and deliciously unpredictable - they're far more interesting than the good guys most of the time. They have these psychological layers that an audience can really cling on to, become fascinated with, much more so than these true-blue, one-dimensional, square-jawed good guys.
Every job has a unique situational circumstance.
The great thing about arriving at this age is that I don't even care about my career anymore.
People are doing sitcoms on stage rather than theater. You go to the theater, and it`s as if you were watching a sitcom at 8:30 on Channel 4.
You start talking about God and a lot of people are going to become very defensive.
I like playing interesting people, I like playing slightly twisted people. I like playing people who have large appetites who are kind of a bit larger than life.
I live in a bubble. I don't read the blogs, or go on the internet, and I really just don't know what people are saying because, well I guess I'm afraid to.
I expect that everything I do will be not watched or not seen. That way, I'm never disappointed when I become flooded with that reality.
I like to believe that everyone is born with the same skill set, and that it is the influences that one comes upon.
I've been a professional actor for almost 40 years.
I will not do a role that I don't think I can do, that I'm not interested in, where there's no humanity, that doesn't have any kind of handle for me at all because I know I'll just stink the joint up.
I'm kind of one of these guys who wants to play everything once before it's all over.
I like doing voiceover work. I just like it in general, because you're constantly working on a very first-instinct level. You show up, you get in front of the microphone, you look at the lines, you say the lines, and then you move on. You work on a really primal level, is what I'm saying. You don't have to shave. You don't even have to wear pants. But, uh, that wasn't your question.
I've never worked with a tail, that I can remember. But there's so much I can't remember.
