Casting is a convoluted kind of trip. No one likes to be typed - even if you're a cab driver, or whatever you do.

I was offered a series by John Carpenter after I did the movie 'Christine,' and I would've been a leading man after that. I would have played a private investigator. And I was offered a great deal - I would be involved in the direction, casting, everything, and whatever. It was whatever an actor wants, and I didn't take it.

I don't believe in singing lessons. You can sing or you can't.

The cab driver must have been a big fan.

You can do stuff onstage that you can't do offstage. You can be angry as hell and enraged and get away with it onstage, but not off.

Speech lessons probably did more for my singing voice - they teach you breathing, resonance.
