If you'd have told me five years ago that I'd have done all this - two books, some television and everything - I'd panic, I'd be scared.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I was younger, I was ready to go off at any time. My wife, Linda, and I would go out to the Limelight in New York, and I would see people and be able to freeze them with a look. People were even too scared of me to tell me that people were scared of me.
I was worried that one day, 40 years from now, I would look back and wouldn't be able to remember the details of my life, so I've written them all down.
If I ever completely lost my nervousness I would be frightened half to death.
To make the reader afraid, I had to be afraid.
I'd been shy since childhood, constantly full of self-doubt. And as an actor, I'd been so scared of failing that I made my career - and myself - a big joke.
I've been reading horror since I was five years old.
There's something really fun about being scared, and I guess that was at least part of why I wanted to film certain scenes from my new book, 'Skeleton Creek.'
I had my moments when I got very frightened that I would not recover.
I know a lot of shows are like, 'Here's the pages,' right before they start filming. I'd have a heart attack. The anxiety would be way too much for me. I don't have as strong a backbone as those other show writers.
I am not scared of anyone. I will write and publish my books.
