Fear is a pair of handcuffs on your soul.

It's true, I did a lot of great movies, and I'm happy. It was what it was, and now I think all of that has fed into where I am now, and I think it has taught me a lot.

Since Star Wars, that film's success led to bigger budgets, more hardware, that the great movies like the ones I did, which were studio movies, are now independent movies. They range from half a million to several million, and a lot of those have very interesting roles.

I mean, I was always interested in people like Lenny Bruce, people who are breaking the old rules and making new ones.

Do you know what I'm working on now? My first feature as a director.

So many people are called but few serve as actors, you know what I mean?

You are an athlete when you're onstage. You can't get tired.
