I'm About As Healthy As A Person

In The Theater, Actors Are The Essential Element Of The Work. In A Film, It's A Real Collaboration - Not That Theater Isn't, Because It Is - But It's A Collaboration To Such An Extent That You Can Give A Performance In Film That Sometimes You Look At And You Go, "well, That's Not The Performance I Was Trying To Give At All."

I Don't Necessarily Like Being Defined By My Profession.

I Was Quite Eager To Work, Anytime Somebody Was Offering Me A Job, If I Liked The Role. Because I Was Always Very Discriminating From The Very Beginning, In The Sense That I Had Absolutely No Problem Saying No To Jobs When They Came Along If Somehow They Didn't Fit Into My Universe - Whatever That Was.

Unfortunately, I Feel As Actors We Have To Fight For The Right To Really Go In As Many Directions As Possible.

For Me, The Motivation Really Was To Work With Al Pacino. To Me, That Seemed Like An Incredible Opportunity, Just A Learning Opportunity Because I Thought So Highly Of Him.
