The one nice thing about doing a character for a long time is, you begin to feel more comfortable, and you are thinking less and behaving more. It's always best not to be thinking a hell of a lot while you're acting, because you want it to be as spontaneous as possible, not too intellectual. Just behaving and listening to other people who you're doing scenes with. I always like the latter when it looks easy, even though it may not be.

I will confess I did none of my own singing. I did all my own costume and makeup, though.

Then, at some point, you get identified with certain things.

Part of you wants to look over at the people watching and say, "Not bad, huh? Me and Clint Eastwood." But you have to get past that and just be an actor.

I just don't eat too much. That's never been my problem.

I love going to concerts, so that whole environment is something that intrigues me anyway.
