In A Good Script, It's Really Like

I Think That There's Room For Everyone. I Don't Think That If One Person Succeeds Then Another Must Fail. That's Lunacy.

I Was Living In New York, So I Just Rode My Motorcycle Up To The Set [of New Jack City]. So First Day Of Work For Me Was Kind Of Tough. I Get Ready To Get Off My Bike, And I'm Surrounded By The Security Guards, Who Were Louis Farrakhan's Nation Of Islam Guys. Who Had The Double-breasted Suits And Guns. And This Guy Goes, "where You Goin'?" And I Said, "i'm Here To Work." And They Said, "no You're Not." And I Said, "yeah. I'm Here To Work On The Movie." And They Said, "no You're Not. Get On Your Bike."

I Don't Know If One's More Typecasting Than The Other, Or What I Am More Like. But I Know That The High School I Went To Was A Private School. It Was Prep School. It Was A Boarding School. So We Didn't Have A Shop Class. We Didn't Have Saturday Detention. We Went To School On Saturday. We Did Have Sunday Study, Which You Very Rarely Get, Because Then You Have 13 Straight Days Of School. Who Wants That?

I Love The Rehearsal Process In The Theatre, And The Visceral Sense Of Contact And Communication With A Live Audience.

The Dark Backward. Bill Paxton Is In It With Me. Wayne Newton. James Caan. Adam Rifkin Wrote And Directed It. It Was Made A Number Of Years Ago And Very Odd. Not For The Squeamish.
