I Have A Secret Aspiration To Be

I've Always Thought That, In A Sense, The More Specific And Sometimes Even The Smaller The World Of A Movie Is, The More Universal It Is.

I Was Always Around People Who Were In The Business From The Time I Was An Absolute Baby. I Grew Up In New York City, And My Parents, My Sister, And I Had A House On Fire Island, And They Were Part Of A Set Of People That Were All Close And Friendly, Most Of Whom Were Involved In Show Business In One Regard Or Another. So It Was Always Familiar To Me, And I Kind Of Enjoyed It.

I Have A Secret Aspiration To Be Considered For A Part Where It Doesn't Matter What You Look Like To Play It.

In My Career, I've Had Kind Of A Strange Trajectory As An Actor. I Started Out Doing Movies And Theater And Stuff, But Then I Had A Terrible Problem With Stage Fright As An Actor On Stage, And I Quit Stage Acting For A Long, Long Time.

I'm One Of Relatively Few Stage-trained Actors Who Doesn't Much Like Acting On Stage. It Feels Kind Of Like Riding The Cyclone At Coney Island, Which I Did When I Was Eight. When It Was All Over, I Was Glad I Had Done It, But Most Of The Time When It Was Actually Happening, I Was Just Kind Of Hanging On For Dear Life.
