My father was a very contradictory man. I mean, most environmentalists in America in the 1950s - of which there were hardly any - were not... paratroopers. But my father was in the 82nd Airborne, it was just like that.

I don't really have a comprehension of being a public figure.

People always say life is short. I've never been convinced of that - mine seems to have a tendency to go on and on.

I am inspired by the appearance of a bohemian of the new millennium.

It never occurred to me to be an actor.

The one natural gift I have is easy access. That's the only natural I gift I have at all. You have to have that, the third eye.

With acting it's your neck up there in the end. And if you think the director can't help you it's one thing. But if you feel they're reining you in when they need to be giving you some rope, or vice versa, then I just don't tolerate that.
