Film has to be reflecting the world that we live in, and that's all you want to be a part of. Actors inhabit the same planet as everyone else. It's a weird thing that happens when you're an actor because people hold you up because you somehow embody in parts groups of people or people's hopes or something.

I love working in New York theater.

I was a student in London in the '70s, so CBGB really wasn't on my radar at all. Obviously, I was aware of the emergence of the Police in England and as an art student, I was very aware of David Byrne, but I suppose my musical taste at that time certainly didn't stretch towards the Dead Boys or the Ramones.

Somebody with Debbie Reynolds' features doesn't get cast as the Wicked Witch.

I'm a lot less serious than people think, it's probably because the way my face is put together.

I can only see my limitations. That's just who I am.

From my experience, I think that every actor has to make sure that they're in charge of their own career somehow or other.
