It Can Kind Of Screw Up Things

I've Worked With A Lot Of Kids, And When You're Working With Kids They Have Certain Hours That They Have To Work.

I'd Done About 10 Movies Before I Decided I Wanted To Make Acting The Main Thrust Of My Career.

I Had Success As An Actor Relatively Early. When I Was 22, I Got Nominated For An Academy Award For The Last Picture Show, So That Road, You Know, Had The Least Resistance. I Was Doing My Music All That Time, But It's Pretty Hard To Turn Down These Great Movie Offers. And My Father Counseled Me; He Said, "you Know, One Of The Wonderful Things About Acting Is That You Can Incorporate All Of Your Interests Into The Different Parts You Play." I'm Glad I Listened To The Old Man, Because That's The Way It Turned Out.

Nowadays It Seems More And More Like The 'business' In 'show Business' Is Underlined, And There Are Campaigns, And It's All Part Of Getting People In To See The Movies.

What I Learned Most From My Father Wasn't Anything He Said; It Was Just The Way He Behaved. He Loved His Work So Much That, Whenever He Came On Set, He Brought That With Him, And Other People Rose To It.
