 Also, I think there are huge reactions sometimes, which are also mysterious. |
| I think that if I had grown up and had been in show business and the movies twenty five, thirty years earlier, I think I would have made a lot more musical movies. |
| When I was a kid I joined the circus. I did that. It is true. But it's not like you think. There was a guy, he had his own circus. His name was Carol Jacobs and he owned it. It was a small thing. |
| I remember that. I was talking to him and I said how great it would be if actors had a tail because I have animals and a tail is so expressive. On a cat you can tell everything. You can tell if they're annoyed. You can tell whether they're scared. |
| I think if you do something effectively whether you're the lover or the comic or the action guy or the villain like I play; movies are very expensive to make. Chances are you'll get asked to play that part again. |
| I try not to worry about things I can't do anything about. |
| Acting has to do with saying it as if you meant it, so for me the words are always very important. It's very important for me to know my lines, know them so well that I don't have to think about them. |
| Obviously an actor draws on his own experience. |
| I've made movies that we're very successful that we're a complete surprise, and I've made movies that I thought we're going to be very successful that, you know. |
| I'm not much of an analyzer or a psychologist. |
| One thing that's happened to me is I've been around a long time and I've played a lot of villains and so forth. I think it had to do with, well one thing is that I looked younger than I was for a long time. Now I think I'm suddenly starting to play people's father. |
| Because if I don't know my lines, I really don't know what I'm doing. |
| My father passed away a couple of years ago, but he was very old. He was almost a 100 years old. And, you know, he had a very good life. He came to America and he had a good life. |
| I think that weddings have probably been crashed since the beginning of time. Cavemen crashed them. You go to meet girls. It makes sense. |
| An actor really is a kind of intermediary between an audience and the piece, whether it's a play or movie. |
| They have a kind of Bob Hope and Bing Crosby thing going on. |
| When videotape came so a lot of movies that I do have a kind of afterlife in video. Things where movies that I do would come and go; they still come and go but you can go rent them and see them on TV. |
| I've made three musical movies which is pretty good considering that not many are made but I was lucky in other ways. I came along when independent movies were starting to boom. |
| I don't carry lucky charms, but I believe in those things. |
| Also for me it was different because I play a lot of villains and in this one I play a dad and I play a good guy, basically. He's the Secretary of the Treasury. I never had a job like that. |
