thinking people directors
I've worked with Jack Nicholson and Robert De Niro and Tom Hanks. I've worked with some really good directors: Woody Allen, Paul Schrader... I've really worked with a lot of people. But I'm intimidated by them, and I'm always thinking, "Oh, my God, he's not going to like me, and I'm going to get fired,".
girl character actors
I did what a lot of character actors do: I did it to get girls.
way scripts good-enough
Without being good enough, I started figuring out how to make my way through the minefield of a script, which is the rest is semi-history.
ideas office actors
I had no idea that, when you audition for television or movies, you go to a big building - like, an office building - and you walk in the room, and everybody, I assumed, was smarter than me and better than me, and there's actors you recognize. I once fainted at an audition.
girl sarcastic growing-up
I grew up as a very sarcastic person. I was always the class clown, and to date girls I had to be really funny. I was really skinny growing up.
running kind showers
I was so thin, I had to run around in the shower to get wet. That kind of thin.
kids sarcasm having-kids
I always had to rely on humor and sarcasm. And when I started having kids, that doesn't work with kids. Kids don't understand sarcasm, and they certainly don't understand my humor.
careers persons
I started just naturally turning into a nicer person, and it actually helped broaden and lengthen my career.
children real play
If I had not lived the life I had lived and did not have the wife I have and the children I have, I would never know how to play that role [Dr. Bedsloe], and I wouldn't have any of those qualities. It's a real example of how it is true that the camera catches everything. Even the stuff you're trying to hide.
believe auditions panic
I can't emphasize the immediate panic that would set in when I had to audition. I can't believe I did it.
careers people fans
I suppose there are a lot of people who'd kill to have my career, but I still feel like a fan.
real phones play
Harold Ramis really got my career going and was a friend for a long time. I was doing a play in L.A., and he came to see it a few times and recommended me to Ivan Reitman for Ghostbusters 2. Six months later, I quit real estate and was acting for good, and it was really because Harold took an interest in me and made a phone call and did stuff that people don't usually do, even if they like somebody.
