I don't think I could be a foot soldier. I don't know if I could take orders too good. I'm a little lazy.

You might get some serial killers who are born with a chip missing, but for the most part I don't think anyone is born bad.

The very first things that I did, even in theater, were bad guys. They are meaty roles for the most part. With the bad guy you have more freedom to experiment and go further out than with a good guy.

You deal with failure - strike, strike, strike - all the time. Acting is like that. You have to have a very thick skin in a way - your hair is too dark, you're too ugly for the part, your audition wasn't good.

When some people get parts, they feel they can now relax, but for me it was always the opposite. Sometimes before I do a movie or before I act out a scene, I may not sleep well the night before. If I don't know what the scene is about, I might get all worked up.

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.

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.
