Acting Is Very Immediate.

Mark Twain Was An Artist Working At The Highest Level. He Wrote A Book, His Masterpiece, The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn, That Put America On The World Stage For Literature. It's Almost As If, If You Start Reading That Book As A Racist, You Cannot Finish It And Still Be A Racist.

There Are Some Directors I Should Have Worked With. I`d Like To Have Worked With Robert Altman - I Turned Him Down A Couple Of Times When I Was Younger. My Thing Now Is If It`s A Good Director I`ll Never Say No - I`m Just Gonna Say Yes From Now On.

I Have Two Children And They're Young Yet But All Of The Children That I Know Really Inspire Me.

It`s Always Been The Same For Me. I`ve Always Enjoyed Acting, And I Really Love Good Actors; They`re Such Unique Characters. I Wish I Could Tell Stories Well, Or Tell A Joke. Any Time Someone Can Do That It`s So Satisfying. Sean Penn, For Instance, Is A Really Good Actor, And He Can Tell A Good Joke Or Story. But It`s Hard To Do. Most Actors Have Special Talents That Make Them Attractive, But They`re Often Odd Characters.

My Perception Is That I've Never Done Anything But Work Really Hard.
