My character was kidnapped by the Terminator and I was kidnapped by the Terminator production.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I made the character as much of myself as I could.
I'm a spoilt brat. I thought I was just going to walk in and make movies. But I'd been my own boss for so long that all of a sudden to be facing a roomful of people who were niggling over every little scene... I just thought I'd go back and draw my comics and have a happy life.
I became the messenger who had to be killed.
What always leads me in terms of my movies are characters.
I've been forced to deal with my character assassination.
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 think I may have become an actor to hide from myself. You can escape into a character.
For me, my awakening came when I was kidnapped.
I want to be known as Terminator 2.
People asked if I could have played the Terminator. Are you kidding? Not a chance, I never could have played the Terminator.
