You Know, Actors Are Fans, Too. And

Lots Of People Fantasize About What It Would Be Like If They Were President... Most Think They'd Be Decent And Wouldn't Be Corrupted At All, That They'd Remain True To Themselves.

I've Done A Couple Of Movies For Scale, And It's The Only Way To Get A Lot Of These Independent Movies Made. The Actors Negotiate Deals Where They're Given Just Enough Money To Live On During The Filming, But Then They Participate In The Back-end. If The Movie Suddenly Makes A Gazillion Dollars, We'll Participate In That Profit.

I Had Studied Piano Since I Was 13, But I Was Surrounded By Students Who'd Been Playing Since They Were 5. I Realized I Was Never Going To Be Anything But Mediocre.

I Totally Related To Cole Porter's Magnetic Pull To Any Piano That Was In The Room, Which He Was Famous For Doing, As Was Gershwin. You Couldn't Drag Them Away From A Piano.

I Think Every American Actor Wants To Be A Movie Star. But I Never Wanted To Do Stupid Movies, I Wanted To Do Films.
