I think that a good movie creates its own world, and that world needn`t refer to anything that`s real. If it`s consistent, if it`s entertaining, if it`s interesting, it justifies its being there.
I would like to be a very old man and still be acting. So I feel lucky to have stuck around for this long. You have to be good and all that, but you also have to be lucky. I guess in everything. But especially if you`re an actor. So I got no complaints.
I always think that in movies or on stage, two people can be talking to each other - the audience doesn`t necessarily have to know what they`re talking about, just so long as they know that *you* know what you`re talking about.
There were years when I didn`t do anything but collect unemployment. I worked a lot, but I worked for nothing. I worked for 15 years as a kind of janitor at the Actors Studio. I would do manual things. I did lots of plays, theater workshops, for nothing.
