I've Done So Many Independents

You Want To Make A Little Money, And Sometimes You Want To Play Some Really Great Parts. Sometimes They Don't Always Coincide, Or Co-exist. Sometimes You've Got To Do Good Parts For No Money And... You Know, I Sometimes Can't Do Movies Just For The Money. I Really Can't. I Mean, I've Tried. Believe Me, I'd Love To Just Take The Money And Run. That Might Just Be Part Of The Equation, But There Has To Be Something There. You Have To Be Somewhat Creatively Satisfied.

In Theatre You Can't Ad Lib, So You Want To Pick Really Good Material, Like David Mamet Or Shakespeare Or Whatever. You Want To Be Really Careful About What You Do. But In The Movies, You Do Have More Wiggle-room. You Do Have More Opportunities To Improvise. It's Fun To Improvise, But I Still Think It's Better To Have A Great Script.

I Had Those Kind Of Parents Where I Watched All Of These Very Sophisticated Movies: 'five Easy Pieces', 'one Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.'

I Sometimes Can't Do Movies Just For The Money. I Really Can't. I Mean, I've Tried. Believe Me, I'd Love To Just Take The Money And Run.

I Think People Are Happier When They Have Structure, You Know? You Realize That As You Get Older. You Have To Have Rituals And Structure.
