If you have this enormous talent, it`s got you by the balls, it`s a demon. You can`t be a family man and a husband and a caring person and be that animal. Dickens wasn`t that nice a guy.
I stopped working a few years ago because I just lost a spark that I`d had before. I thought I`d just try writing, and maybe start directing, but I did it very quietly.
I mean, I don`t think I`m alone when I look at the homeless person or the bum or the psychotic or the drunk or the drug addict or the criminal and see their baby pictures in my mind`s eye. You don`t think they were cute like every other baby?
