 I couldn't say no to jobs and I couldn't say no to drugs. I'd get high from a movie, I'd be somebody else because I didn't particularly like me, so long as I had a script in my hand, I was okay. As soon as the movie was over, I didn't know what to do. |
| I've never considered myself a leading man, don't look like one, don't want to be one. |
| I'm a character actor, so I don't take the hit if the movie's bad, the lead does. So, I don't want to be the lead. He takes the hit, I don't. |
| I'm big and a lot of the stars are smaller so if you're big and mean looking, you play bad guys. After Blade Runner, I was the meanest guy in Hollywood. |
| My dad had a movie theater so I was there every night. |
| Blade Runner helped make my career. Everybody was in it. Who knew? |
| You never know what show is going to change your life. |
| Since very early in my career, I have always did my own stunt fighting. |
| Producing is nothing more than bringing all the elements together, connecting people. |
| I play out negative fantasies for people. I'm the guy people love to hate. And they always remember the bad guy. |
| The interesting part of the process is developing the character, you know, why did he become that? Why is the guy a murderer, or why is this guy a pervert, or whatever he is. So that's the fun part for me to delve into the abyss. |
| Larry Kasdan is a great director. |
| I did 125 films, and over 100 television shows, and you've never seen the same character twice. |
| The bad guys are the best parts. |
| I still do television. I don't care. I just want to work. I love to work. I want to do 500 movies. |
| I could talk about Blade Runner forever. |
| Westerns was why I got into the business. I grew up on a small farm in California and all I ever wanted to do was to play gangsters and cowboys in movies. |
| You know, stand-up comedy is where I pretty much started out. |
| I never play a villain that I don't have something I can either do or say so the audience sees there is something redeemable about them. In other words, I don't want to do evil for evil's sake. I don't want to do Jason slasher movies. There's no point in that. |
