alaska people way
When we lived in Juneau, Alaska, it was a town of about 7,000 people, and totally isolated; the only way to get to it was by ship.
airplane may ships
It's hard to tell whether the ship or airplane - they're all the same, I'm convinced - is male or female; it may shift back and forth.

I'm just looking for the best story being told by the best people and the best part that I can find. If those things add up, I want to be a part of it whether it's a studio film or, more likely in that instance, an independent film.

People have said unkind things and you kind of have to, if you happen to read it, you have to just, you know, move on.
joy band records
Starting in the mid-'80s, I played in a band called Meat Joy, and we made our own record, toured.
new-york thinking actors
'The New York Times' thing... I think any actor would be thrilled to be profiled in that paper.

There's a lot of skeletons in my closet!
