I've worked for 27 years nonstop in theater and films. That's a lot of work.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have done a lot of work in Hollywood myself. I worked in television for roughly 10 years, from the mid-'80s to mid-'90s. And I was on staff at a couple of shows. I did some feature films, including originals and adaptations.
In theater, you sometimes can only do one or two jobs a year because they're long periods. In film, you can shoot so many. It's quite interesting.
I've been a professional actor for almost 40 years.
I came out of repertory theater, where I worked 50 weeks a year, and I loved working with the people.
I had been working early in my life in films - since I was 11.
I've obviously made a very nice amount of money. I have a very nice lifestyle. I get to do what I love. Very few actors get to do that, and even fewer are lucky enough to work steadily for 24 years.
I've worked in television all my life, but really I've always wanted to work in the movies.
I only work every couple of years. I go into retirement between films.
I've been acting for 25 years, living out of suitcases on theater tours or film locations.
I'm used to working hard. Theater can be very grueling, and that's all I've ever known. It's what I've done for 20 years, which is crazy.
