I Like Risky Parts -

I've Never Modeled Myself On Anybody, But There Are A Lot Of People Whose Work I Really Admire And Attitudes I Certainly Subscribe To.

I Really Like The Way That Jack Nicholson [acts] In Particular Works. I Like The Fact That He Takes Enormous Risks. He's An Enormously Disciplined Actor Who Seems To Be Totally Capable Of Dealing With The Business As A Business And Yet Drop It Totally When He's Working.

I Want To Establish A Wide Range And Play All Kinds Of Parts. It's That Sort Of Acting Career I Really Respect. I Like To Turn A Sharp Left From Whatever I've Done Before Because That Keeps Me Awake. That's Why I Want To Be An Actor - I Don't Want To Play Endless Variations On One Character.

I Like Risky Parts - Abrasive Characters The Audience Won't Necessarily Like.

The People On The Business Side In The Music Business Are Kind Of Different From The Theatre Business. I Think It's Partly Because There Are Different Pressures On The Industries.
