I'm Still Working! I Think Of All

I Think I'm A Better Actor Now. I Mean, I Really Think I Know A Lot About Acting Now. But I Didn't Know A Lot About Acting Then, In 80's, And I Never Knew How To Be Myself. I Never Knew How To Relax And Just Play It From Me. I Was Always Trying To Deliver A Line.

My First Words Were 'seconds, Please.' Most Kids In Kindergarten Napped On A Little Rug. I Had A Braided 9 X 12.

It Might Be One Thing To Think About Putting On A Dress, But When You're Actually Putting On A Dress, It's A Weird Thing, Because You're Going, "huh. I'm Putting On A Dress. Do I Leave My Underwear On? Do I Get Some Other Underwear? Is There Something Special I Should Wear?" All That Dumb Stuff. I'd Never Had Any Interest In Putting On My Mom's Clothes, Except To Think, "well, They Are Nice Clothes..."

I Just Had A Throwaway Part, Really, If You Think About It. I'm Not A Natural Actor, You Know? I'm A Comedian, Through And Through. And I Really Love My Lines. Those Are The Lines I Want To Do.

Your Agent Or Manager Tells You. They Go, "you're Out. They're Gonna Get A New Guy." But Then I Didn't Feel Bad. I Didn't Take It Personally. Not That I'm Competitive At All. But You Have Pride In That, You Know? You Want Your Ratings To Be Good. But Now That I'm 62, I Don't Really Care About The Ratings. I Don't Care About The Reviews. I Care About The Work, And I Care About The People That I'm Working With, And I Try To Make The Experience For Them And Myself As Good As It Can Be.
