I've always had a reputation as a buffoon.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't mind being a buffoon.
Once I became a total buffoon, it was so liberating.
When I did comedy I made fun of myself. If there was a buffoon, I played the buffoon.
I think some people see me as being some kind of lovable, bumbling buffoon, and I'm actually quite mouthy and sharp, and that doesn't compute.
And I have been able to establish this sort of decent reputation as being a decent character actor.
My reputation was built on hostility. I had no friends and some very virulent enemies in the old-guard art scene when I began. They threw their heavy artillery against me. They were convinced I was perverting the public taste.
I'm stingy and I'm proud of the reputation.
I'm a movie buff.
I'm a video game buff.
You're never going to see me playing a buffoon.
