 Even my agents say, We don't know what this business is anymore. |
| I like playing flawed characters, people who aren't perfect. |
| We had training camp for a week, and we used the actual military drills of that period. We didn't have to work out much after hours, because going up and down hills all day was a good workout in itself. |
| I guess if I weren't an actor, I'd be a history professor. |
| I have family obligations and all that stuff. I get my kids six weeks in the summer, which is a real intense period of time. I'm with them every minute of the day. |
| I was so exhausted after fighting for the project for five years, shooting it was like the Bataan Death March. |
| Around mid-life everyone goes maniac a little bit. |
| The Big Chill is one of those things that everybody can identify with. Between eight characters, they can pick somebody who's somewhat like them. |
| I've done about six comedies. Oddly enough, the script came to me from one of the guys in Platoon. |
| I'm probably satisfied with my career 80 percent of the time. |
| There's a hysterical, tired sense of humor that comes after working 14 hours a day, six days a week. I like those things because they take the pressure off the constant stress. |
| I don't care about being a star. I can do a supporting role; I don't have to be a lead. |
| My mother, sister and I watched through the windows as my father gambled. |
| I was kind of confused. I thought, Well, if I get drafted, I'll go. Everybody was very concerned with it. I had friends who went. Some that came back and some that didn't. |
| Every other movie is one of those action things. I mean, Lost in Space? A bunch of good actors running around shooting at special effects on a soundstage? I took my kids to see that and felt like I was on an acid trip. |
| To people outside, they think, Gee, that's great. You get to go here and there. The other side of that is our expression, This is location, not vacation. |
| While I was doing these plays in the beginning, I wasn't getting paid. I thought of it more as a hobby. Then I realized how seriously a lot of these people took what they were doing. |
| In this industry, the new owners prefer to kill anything they weren't responsible for. |
| I feel more comfortable doing films with groups of guys. It's a lot easier for me. There's a difference with women: you can't take them to dinner every night and go crazy. |
| Debra Winger doesn't let anything interfere with her performance, which is the way it should be. |
