I'm a parrot. I can pick up an accent and just do it.
In the '70s, everybody was doing drugs, so long as you showed up and did your work, they'd use you until you died.
Producing is nothing more than bringing all the elements together, connecting people.
Work begets work.
Blade Runner helped make my career. Everybody was in it. Who knew?
Since very early in my career, I have always did my own stunt fighting.
I play out negative fantasies for people. I'm the guy people love to hate. And they always remember the bad guy.
I'm big and a lot of the stars are smaller so if you're big and mean looking, you play bad guys. After Blade Runner, I was the meanest guy in Hollywood.
The bad guys are the best parts.
You never know what show is going to change your life.
The best thing about Sci-Fi, which is my favorite genre, is that there are no rules for behavior. So you can do anything you want.
I could talk about Blade Runner forever.
Larry Kasdan is a great director.
Westerns was why I got into the business. I grew up on a small farm in California and all I ever wanted to do was to play gangsters and cowboys in movies.
My dad had a movie theater so I was there every night.
I'm a character actor, so I don't take the hit if the movie's bad, the lead does. So, I don't want to be the lead. He takes the hit, I don't.
You know, stand-up comedy is where I pretty much started out.
I did 125 films, and over 100 television shows, and you've never seen the same character twice.
I never play a villain that I don't have something I can either do or say so the audience sees there is something redeemable about them. In other words, I don't want to do evil for evil's sake. I don't want to do Jason slasher movies. There's no point in that.
The interesting part of the process is developing the character, you know, why did he become that? Why is the guy a murderer, or why is this guy a pervert, or whatever he is. So that's the fun part for me to delve into the abyss.
