'taxi Driver' Was The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me, And I Didn't Become A Weirdo And Squawk Like A Chicken.

I'd Like To Work More As A Director. It's Distracting Being An Actor, Because - There's A Lot Of Reasons. You Find Out You're Going To Work About Six Months Before You Start Shooting, And Then There's Prep And There's Post Afterward, And There's Stuff To Do, And Then Suddenly You've Gone A Year Without Directing.
