People think the hard thing for an actor is crying and screaming, but that`s easy. What`s hard is a character who never tips his hand, who toes the line all the time. The hard stuff is never telling yourself, "Hey, I better do something here."
Acting is playing--it`s actually going out on a playground with the other kids and being in the game, and I need that. Writing satisfies that part of myself that longs to sit in my room and dream.
I`ve been married five times, and people think that`s some bizarre thing, yet I`ve got buddies who refuse to get married and have sex with 15 people a week. I`m like, "Which is better?" At least I was trying.
