There was really a snobbery from people in film - they did not want people who had come from television. It was the poor relation of show business, and especially situation comedy.

You know, people really don't understand what actors do.

I MUST go to what desperately frightens me - the chance of failure.

I haven't had an orthodox career, and I've wanted more than anything to have your respect. The first time I didn't feel it, but this time I feel it, and I can't deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me!

I never really address myself to any image anybody has of me. That's like fighting with ghosts.

I certainly have a very colorful nature, filled with great highs and great lows... in my early adulthood I probably was grappling with some serious depression issues.

We just fight our way through it. But you can't just get up and walk out without repeating the behavior over and over.
