I have a problem with writer/directors, personal. I can't work well with both of them on the set, if both of them are giving instructions. Writers tend to be in love with what they wrote. You can't always translate the words into the meaning, sometimes the meaning is better served without the words, difficult to make a writer to try to understand that. It gets, sometimes, tense.

I had gone to school to work on technique and found it wasn't something that was really worthwhile to me, although it probably was.

I don't think you're going to get nominated every time you jump out of the box.

Let me be the first to tell you, drinking alcohol is the worst thing to do in cold weather. Hot soup is the best because the process of digesting food helps to warm you up.

I don't remember what my favourite comedy film is - truthfully! I saw Borat and I thought I was not going to be able to get out of the theatre because I was in so much pain from the laughter.

I was always ambitious. I always wanted to be more than I was....I always wanted to be a movie actor.

I got my first job as a card-carrying actor in New York in 1967. Before that, I was a very desperate wannabe.
