With a face like this, there aren't a lot of lawyers or priest roles coming my way. I've gotta face that was meant for a mug shot and that's what I've been doing for the past thirty years.

In a movie that has so many villains, take a look at my character closely - not that it supports the weight of a careful examination - and you'll see that I don't really get in anyone's face, I don't really kill anyone, I'm not really a bad guy - I'm just a guy who likes to fly.

I don't really think of myself as a comic actor. In fact, I have a hard time watching myself. I take very little enjoyment from watching myself in things. It's a rare occasion when I look at something I did and say, "I was good, and I think I looked good, and I think I did a good job." That's a triumvirate I don't hit very often. Show less «
