I'm About As Healthy As A Person

I Have To Say From An Actor's Perspective, To Work With A Director Who Has Been An Actor Through Most Of Their Career Is A Pleasure. They Generally Have A Very Deep Understanding Of The Process Of What You're Doing, Of How You Are Building And Exploring The Character.

If You Just Work On Your Upper Body, You're Not Going To Be A Full-range Dancer Or Performer. You've Got To Work In All Directions As Much As You Possibly Can.

I Was Always Drawn Toward The Actor's Studio. I Studied At The Lee Strasberg Institute When I First Came To New York. One Of My Favorite Teachers Was One Of Al [pachino]'s Teachers, A Guy Named Charlie Laughton, Who Was Just A Wonderful, Wonderful Man.

I Try To Offer As Much As I Can To The Director So He Has As Much To Work With As Possible To Create The Character That, Really, He Wants To Create In A Sense.

As Far As Acting In Films, There Is Not Much Out There That Is Very Interesting To Do. The Ones That Are Interesting To Me Are Independent Films And They Have Trouble Raising Money. With People Putting Their Money Into Blockbusters, There Is Not Much Left For The Independents.
