My goal as an actor has always been to reach a level where I can find a lot of interesting work, and I think I'm at that point now. The Oscar has given me a lot of recognition.

To me the thing with 'Grease' was that it was the first movie that as a kid I wanted to get up and do what they were doing.

To be honest with you, I'd rather not be working. When you work, there are all sorts of deadlines and pressures. I like to do one thing and take my time to do the other one.

There's something about the Oscar that gives you sort of stripes where you feel you can dare to walk into a studio like Universal and say, "Hey guys, how about an idea of me playing the wolf man?"

I've liked most of the films that I've been in and those are the kinds of films I like to see.

I guess I rooted for the Creature from the Black Lagoon.
