L.A. kind of scares me.

As I was coming up on the stage, there was one source that could make or break you, the New York Times. Inevitably there would be one actor singled out for a better review, or worse, than somebody else. The effect of that was cancerous, divisive.

There are some actor secrets you keep sometimes, and you want to keep.

I didn't get into this so I could talk about my work, my movies. You become an actor to act.

Music is a soundtrack for your life. You hear some tune and you just get swept right back to that point in your life.

Before Footloose, the things I'd done weren't cute. In Diner I was an alcoholic.

I always watch rushes. They give me a sense of whether I'm going in the right direction. You work hard and hopefully get encouragement from what you see.
