I suspect that a lot of studio executives still think of me as 'what's-his-name'.

I've got research, I have my own life experience I can apply, and I have my imagination.

You don't throw away a whole life just because it's banged up a little.

You jot down ideas, memories, whatever, concerning your real life that somehow parallels the character you're playing, and you incorporate that in your scene work.

You must survive with grace. You must do so gallantly. How archaic these terms seem to us in our modern world. There is little grace or gallantry in commerce or politics and not much in art.

I don't want to go bald, I don't know what's coming up next.

I had a couple come in with a negative amortization mortgage on a house that costs way too much relative to their income. They're consuming real estate, not investing in it.
