| Quotes: |
I do like the idea of putting something comical into an intense drama, and being intense in absurd circumstances within a comedy.
<br />
<hr>
My life is going to kill me. We all get angry when we realize that. But the anger is fear.
<br />
<hr>
I've had people say to me, "It's such a shame what happened to your career." I just smile and say I've had a blast. I really have.
<br />
<hr>
I had a perfect track record up to Rude Awakening (1989). Then the track record goes bumpy, then it goes bad and I'm ruining myself with B movies. I've done a lot of shit. But I have reinstated myself.
<br />
<hr>
This past 15 years, I made 120 movies, and I probably haven't seen 60 of them. But I've had a great time. I also don't have to die for my work anymore. I have never been more miserable or unhappy as when I shot Star 80 (1983) - as a person, just because of where I had to go every day. [2008] |
