I try to work and enjoy life, and that's about all.
I like people who try to do big things.
I've been going to this high school for 7 and 1/2 years, I'm no dummy.
Every now and then say, 'What the f***.' 'What the f*** gives you freedom. Freedom brings opportunity. Opportunity makes your future.
Every now and then say, 'What the fu©k.' 'What the fu©k' gives you freedom. Freedom brings opportunity. Opportunity makes your future.
There's something about the way of playing a repellent character, that if you can play him with a certain amount of charm, you can get away with a lot.
As an actor I'm part of a long line of character people you can take back to the silent movies. There's always the little guy who's the sidekick to the tall, good-looking guy who gets the girl.
I'm at least getting my foot in the door as far as doing straight dramatic parts, which no one would have ever considered me for in the '80s. I never objected to that because I love doing comedy, and I'm not the kind of actor that insists that unless you're doing a serious dramatic role, you're not acting.
I'm not an improv guy.
The movies that I did in the '80s were either good or bad, but I never was oppressed with any feeling - I mean, I thought it was ridiculous to play high school or college students when I was 30. But at the same time, that was really done then.
Without a plan, there's no attack. Without attack, no victory.
Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn.
It was very natural that people just think of me as a comic actor.
I tend to not really care for re-makes in general. Mainly they are horrible.
