There were two things I wanted to be: an actor and a hippie.
appear classic movies robert turner
It would be a dream come true to appear on Turner Classic Movies with Robert Osborne, who is one of my heroes.
drive left
In my drive to be the perfect artist, I've left a lot of living to the side.
money rejected
I've never chosen or rejected a role because of money.
I've had a 'Zelig'-like career. I pop up unexpectedly. I'm always kind of around.
dominate life
I've done a lot of stage in my life, but I never had to dominate a stage for three hours.
agile except sports unless
I'm not getting involved in sports anymore, except on film. I'm not agile unless a camera's going.
money next rent
I'd always keep going back to the acting. Once the rent was paid, and the phone bill, the next money you had was for acting classes.
beaten endlessly guess movies
I guess once you've seen Uma Thurman beaten up endlessly in the 'Kill Bill' movies, you think, 'If Uma can take it, what's the matter with me?'
I don't know why every actor doesn't do more plays.
fear playing
Because of fear, and the way my career went, I started playing a lot of villainous roles.
Acting had become something I did and did well - but didn't particularly enjoy.
handle happiness life loved quest
I had a handle on satisfaction, and I loved my career, but I didn't really know what happiness was. So I started on this quest to have a happy life.
art cover department front report script written
A script arrived, and on the front cover - scrawled really big, as if it were a book report - is 'Django Unchained, written by Quentin Tarantino.' And I thought, 'Well, no art department came up with this; this is Quentin's writing.'
