You discover a lot of things on your feet and if you don't have any rehearsal, then anything that happens on the screen is by accident.

I'd like to be remembered as a guy who tried - who tried to be part of his times, tried to help people communicate with one another, tried to find some decency in his own life, tried to extend himself as a human being. Someone who isn't complacent, who doesn't cop out.
