In essence, I owe my career to Garry Marshall. There was no known reason for him to hire me for 'Pretty Woman.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I got to work with legendary director Garry Marshall.
I had such a lack of respect for women that I just treated them as a hobby, trying to live up to the supposed image of Jack Nicholson and all those guys who were womanizers.
I knew I would never be cast as the pretty girl.
I've made a career of taking roles that other actresses didn't want.
I had a kind of romantic notion about being a Hollywood Errol Flynn type.
I'm sure I was a great disappointment to many women because I wasn't Errol Flynn. But I'm me. I think that's got some merit.
I was never really a character actor - I was a leading man who was always cast as a character. I wanted to be Jack Nicholson or Jean Gabin.
I wish I had seen some women directing before - that would have given me the idea of who I was.
Garry Marshall is a joy. I feel so utterly safe in his hands.
It's such a nice change to get to play a wretched, shallow, mergers-and-acquisitions woman. My true colors come out.
