Parenting Is An Impossible Job At Any

I Don't Think Nostalgia Is Very Useful To Me. There Is A Story To Be Told, There's Behaviour To Create Or To Bring To The Screen That Will Help Tell That Story, And Nostalgia Is Just Not Really A Big Part Of My Emotional Package.

I Prefer To Be Part Of A Positive Statement. I'm Not Interested In The Psyche Of A Serial Killer. What I'm Interested In Is Creating A Situation In Which People Get Some Emotional Exercise, Which Makes Them Feel Like Human Beings And Makes Them Understand That They Are Part Of The Human Community With All Its Responsibilities.

Acting Was A Way Out At First. A Way Out Of Not Knowing What To Do, A Way Of Focusing Ambitions. And The Ambition Wasn't For Fame. The Ambition Was To Do An Interesting Job.

I'm Like A Fireman. When I Go Out On A Call, I Want To Put Out A Big Fire, I Don't Want To Put Out A Fire In A Dumpster.

As A Matter Of Fact, That Was A Bit Of A Problem For Me At The Beginning Of My Career - The Problem Of Identification. In The Conversation I Played A Character Who Was Gay, So Nobody Recognised Me From American Graffiti. When I Did Apocalypse Now, After Star Wars, I Played An Intelligence Officer Of The American Army. George Lucas Saw The Footage I Had Done And Didn't Recognise Me Until Halfway Through The Scene.
