I've Got A Closet Full Of Tuxes,

I Remember When I Was A Kid, With The Acting Thing, I Resented It Because, You Know, You Don't Want To Do What Your Parents Want You To Do. You Got Your Own Things. And The Whole Idea Of Getting A Job Because Of Who Your Father Is - That Didn't Feel Right. But After A While I Guess I Figured I Must Be Doing Something Right, Because People Wouldn't Keep Hiring Me If I Didn't Have Something To Give.

I Had Success As An Actor Relatively Early. When I Was 22, I Got Nominated For An Academy Award For The Last Picture Show, So That Road, You Know, Had The Least Resistance. I Was Doing My Music All That Time, But It's Pretty Hard To Turn Down These Great Movie Offers. And My Father Counseled Me; He Said, "you Know, One Of The Wonderful Things About Acting Is That You Can Incorporate All Of Your Interests Into The Different Parts You Play." I'm Glad I Listened To The Old Man, Because That's The Way It Turned Out.

I Had Years Of Partying, And I Was Kind Of Surprised And Happy I Survived It All. Now, Being A Parent, I Look Back On It Thinking, Oh God, The Things You Did!

I'm Very Manipulative Towards Directors. My Theory Is That Everyone On The Set Is Directing The Film, We're All Receiving Art Messages From The Universe On How We Should Do The Film.

You Don't Want To Vilify Your Ego.
