“I feel that I have been very fortunate and had the opportunity to play some wonderful roles and movies and worked with some great talent.”

“'Hamlet' was the first movie I saw. In 1948, my mother said, 'I'm going to take you to see 'Hamlet' with Laurence Olivier.' She was worried about taking me to it because she wasn't sure I wa...”

“I got a few speeding tickets when I was young, but I'm a little more like the turtle than the hare.”

“I loved doing Judge Doom in 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit.' I'm constantly running into people who saw that movie when they were kids, and it absolutely horrified them.”

“I don't remember that I ever really went all out to come up with a costume or a persona that could compete with everyone around me. I didn't know what to do. I found Halloween scary for just...”

“Judge Doom is such an evil cartoon! It was just such fun to do. I liked the whole mystique of it: the long cape, the glasses, and all that stuff. You grow up with horror films as a kid, and...”

“The film I had the most fun in was 'Back to the Future Part III.' It had horseback riding, and all that work, all that training, was quite an experience.”

“Some people have quick retention. I'm not one of those.”

“We live in an era now where every episode is reviewed 80 different times on the Internet by periodicals you've never even heard of.”

“I turned down a film that was offered to me in the very early '80s, a Scorsese film. That probably wasn't a good career move.”

“I find it difficult to work if I don't know the lines, you know, and not just knowing - they're second nature to me. Then, whatever happens in the performance when you're actually doing it,...”

“I didn't know where my career was going to go. Somehow, people sensed that I have certain talents and cast me in these bizarre, off-beat roles, which I have no regret about. I've enjoyed pla...”

“I don't know exactly how I end up with some of these roles. It mystifies me sometimes, but I am a fan of sci-fi. I love being taken into a strange world, and when it's told with imagination...”
