Wisdom worth sharing, words worth remembering.
I have to work really hard eight shows a week to get a nice check as an actor. But when I write a play and it's a – knock wood – hit the checks come in for many years.
To work all the time is to be incredibly lucky.
I actually may do a musical next year… not one that I've written one that I may star in. Plus my concert and other people's work and all of a sudden you've got a very full life.
So did I work with Warhol? I worked with him less on that play then I did on other things. He actually did a portrait of my rabbit and some other stuff. Warhol was definitely… Warhol.
I burned out on AIDS and did no AIDS work for a couple of years. I was so angry that people were still getting this disease that nobody can give you – you have to go out and get it!
Beware of anyone who says they know. Trust me they don't or they wouldn't have to say they did.
When I write stuff and I help cast it I turn away good people all the time. I may turn them down because this one's too tall and that one doesn't have a high enough voice or this one looks to old to match up with that one – there's a billion reasons not to hire somebody.
Time will tell us what we did and didn't do.
How time files when you's doin' all the talking.
You know I always got offered other stuff. Not the romantic leads obviously. But very often it's a role that's underwritten where the character has no personality at all. And they need a character actor who can fill it in.
Theater has to resonate in your heart in a way that movies don't.
And I believe that you never be limited in what you do so I like to do movies I like to do television.
