I came up around people who took acting seriously, who cared about acting, cared about the theater and, in the '70s, made movies that said something that mattered. I came up with those people, and I was a kid. Their ethos and credo became mine.
“I'm really trying to focus myself on playing tennis, and I think that's really important.”
“I was never one of those people who thought, 'What I really want to do is direct.' It never occurred to me.”
