It's A Wonderful Thing As Time Goes

I'm A Character Actor. Nobody's Ever Seemed To Think Of Me As A Leading Man. I'm 6'6''. I've Got A Big Nose. I'm Gangly. I've Got Crooked Teeth. That's Certainly Not Brad Pitt. I'm Still Around And Alive, So If They Need Older Guys, I Guess They're Thinking Of Me.

Every Day Is Perfect Because There's No Other Day! As A Friend Of Mine Said, "ride The Horse In The Direction It's Going." When You Do That, You Realize That Every Moment, Every Breath, Every Sound, Every Encounter Is A Gift. You Bloody Well Better Enjoy It.

What Happens When You're Naked Is That People Get That You're Really Just A Human Being. There Are Parts Of It That Are Pretty Appalling, And There Are Parts That Are Okay. That's What It Looks Like. If You Can Embrace And Accept What People Look Like In The Altogether, It's Not So Difficult To Accept Them With Their Clothes On.

All Of Them - My Father, Mother, Step-mother, And Grandmother - Were All Wonderful Actors And Performers And They Are An Inspiration To Me, Both In Their Craft And In Their Humanity.

The Person Is A Mystery. What I'm Playing Is The Person So I Really Get To Tell You And Show You And Communicate To You Who I Think The Real Person Is And That Real Person Is Me. The Most Important Thing Is To Play The Human Being You Are Creating, Which Is My Job.
