Quotes
  • "I`ve got a resume that could choke a horse. I`m impressed by it. Producers who are casting people, they`re all in their 20s now. You show it to somebody in the motion picture industry or television, they don`t know and they don`t care."
  • "There are people in this business that for years said, `He`s an alcoholic. He`s a drunk. He stalked Tina.` And the clamps were put on me in many ways. Unless you`re making big box office, they`re going to kill you. And that`s OK because one thing they can`t take away from me is whatever talent I feel I have, that people feel I have."
