You Know, Actors Are Fans, Too. And

I See A Steady Downward Slope Toward Oblivion Over The Next Three Years. I'm Pessimistic. Everything That's Happened To Me So Far Has Been Kind Of Flukey. I Went Into Twentieth Century Because I Wanted To Work For Hal Prince. The Part Was Too Small According To My Agent. I Had Been Doing Only Leading Parts, And He Thought I Should Continue That. But The Part Was Enlarged In Rehearsal: Songs Were Added, And It Became More Physicalized And Showy. Then I Won Awards And Got Attention.

I've Done A Couple Of Movies For Scale, And It's The Only Way To Get A Lot Of These Independent Movies Made. The Actors Negotiate Deals Where They're Given Just Enough Money To Live On During The Filming, But Then They Participate In The Back-end. If The Movie Suddenly Makes A Gazillion Dollars, We'll Participate In That Profit.

But, I Do Think, On A Very Simplistic Level, That We Can Project Onto Dogs Because They Are So Innocent. They Don't Come With A Lot Of Baggage.

Don't Kiss A Man Who Hasn't Shaved.

Ambition Without Contribution Is Of No Significance.
