But Eraserhead was the first real intense kind of thing I had ever done before the cameras and Lynch had to really bring me down a lot and he still does.

All of a sudden, those few pages of script that he had shown me with the weird images I could visualize all of that in my brain, and I knew that there was this mad little genius at work here and I really wanted to do the film.

I say that I played a doorstop in Dune because I remember standing around a lot. I was down there for months.

Soloing was pretty easy for me because it was probably the first thing I've ever done.

But Basquiat is the first thing I've done that I'm really proud of.

And now comes Pete Martell in Twin Peaks and he's just a nice guy.
