I always wanted to be an actor, even as a little kid. So I went to drama school in the late '60s at Carnegie Mellon.

I went to Carnegie Mellon.

I was a musical theatre geek in high school and college.

I went to drama school for four years at Carnegie Mellon, conservatory training before television comedy. I was doing Shakespeare and Chekov plays. It's about delivering on the promise of a $100,000 education and taking the shackles off and trying the hand at my craft. I'm thrilled with what I've seen so far.

I studied at Carnegie Mellon. I went there with a bunch of really, really talented kids.

I went to drama school at NYU for serious acting. So I was doing Chekov and Sam Shepard plays.

When I started 'Hudson Hawk,' I realized I was dealing with a strong-willed producer, a strong-willed actor, and, at times, a strong-willed studio, and I was the junior partner in all of this - the guy who hadn't proven anything in terms of box-office success.

I wanted to work with Mike Leigh. I had my list of British people I wanted to work with, and I wanted to work with David Lynch and Woody Allen.
