The truth is that I am not a frump... I just enjoy being laid back.
It's better for me to go up against someone's passion with my passion and then clarifying something that he wrote. Then I know how to work around certain things.
We all used to collect baseball cards that came with bubble gum. You could never get the smell of gum off your cards, but you kept your Yankees cards pristine.
Next to sex my favorite thing is laughing - it's part of sex. Make me laugh - I'll love you.
Movie stars are insecure like everyone else. Thats why they go into acting!
People who text a lot are not my favorite thing.
My mother was pretty nuts, but she was also a character.
In my opinion, life is more important than show business.
I have a grandson who is 20. He's a computer guy. I'm worried that he can't communicate without his machine. They have no personal contact with people. That's the bad part of technology.
My family is well, and thats whats important.
Do whatever you can that doesn't compromise your morals.
I have a strange combination of fearlessness and massive insecurity.
I think directors should at least take acting lessons to see what's going on. And I think all actors should direct to see what a director has to go through.
If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.
