I am not a method actor, though I studied for a year with Lee Strasburg.

I'm not sought after. I never get enough work. It's the history of my career. There just isn't anything to turn down, let me put it that way.

I regard myself as a beautiful musical instrument, and my role is to contribute that instrument to scripts worthy of it.

There are genuinely sufficient resources in the world to ensure that no one, nowhere, at no time, should go hungry.

My first job was with an auto plant, Kansas City - they treated you like slaves. From there I went back to Chicago, worked in steel mills, drove a cab, stuff like that.

Some of my earliest political feelings were based on the anti-Japanese bubblegum cards I got. There were also Spanish Civil War bubblegum cards. Awful.

I also think that there is a strong streak of racism, and whenever we engage in foreign adventures. Our whole history in regime change has been of people of different color.
