Sometimes when something really works well, it becomes a target, forty years for me, I've been a part, and I've loved every minute of it. My family has done so well with it. It's been a beautiful thing for me. I've saved lives with it and saved my own life several times. Through my loss of my son, it helped me every step of the way for two years solid, and here I am.
I couldn't function if I weren't allowed to stretch and do really different characters where I can change the whole "beingness" of that person. That's my pleasure in acting and has been since I was a kid. That's always been my pleasure to create complete characters.
I don't recall the so-called devilish things I do. But there are considerable amounts.
When I was a very little boy, I lived underneath the air pattern of LaGuardia airport in New York and I watched the planes fly to their destinations. I was in love with the design of these airplanes.
There are two areas where you can't stop people misbehaving: eating and sex
If you're going to play a woman, you might as well play a woman that you liked, and someone sexy.
I believe in love and marriage, but not necessarily with the same person
I called my son Jett and I wanted to call my daughter Qantas but my wife wouldn't let me.
It is about getting a sense of integrity about issues. That was was my enlightenment over it and knowing that I had a safe place to go to handle anything in life.
Even if the script's well written there's something about the life of an improvisation that resonates better than a written word, sometimes.
I don't mind gearing my life towards privacy. It's my nature.
I have a dance background. I have an athletic background.
So you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna do something really outrageous, I'm gonna tell the truth.
I've never had that concern of thinking of myself as stupid.
