The Only Thing In This World That

We Were Doing Scarface Many Years Ago...and I Remember Having My Coffee And Looking At The Beach, The Surf, And I Saw A Hundred People Looking Out Into The Ocean. I Thought, What's Going On? Did Some Whale Get Washed Up To Shore? So I Stood Up On The Table To See What It Was, And It Was The Director, Brian De Palma, Standing There Alone By The Surf And They Were All Waiting For Him. And I Never Forgot That Because It Represented To Me What A Director Is, What A Director Does.

It Would Be Hard To Play A Character You Don't Like - For Me Anyway - Or Can't Find Something In Them To Like.

I Went Back To The Stage Because It Was My Way Of Dealing With The Success I Had, My Way Of Coping. It Was A Way Of Escaping The Responsibilty Of What Was Happening.

My Weaknesses... I Wish I Could Come Up With Something. I'd Probably Have The Same Pause If You Asked Me What My Strengths Are. Maybe They're The Same Thing.

One Of The Things That Made Me Want To Be An Actor More Than Ever Was Seeing A Chekhov Play, "the Sea Gull," When Was 14 In The Bronx.
