Twenty-five years ago I couldn`t walk down the street without being recognized. Now I can put a cap on, walk anywhere and no one pays me any attention. They don`t ask me about my movies and they don`t ask me about my salad dressing because they don`t know who I am. Am I happy about this? You bet.

It wasn't as though I really made a commitment to it there wasn't anything else around. So I wasn't driven to become an actor.. it just seemed to be the thing that I managed to do best.
