Soundstage Quotes

Whether it`s on top of a phone booth or a $200 million soundstage, it`s about stories.

I remember just before going onto the soundstage, I`d look in my dressing room mirror and stretch myself to my full 5`5" or 5`6" - whatever it was - to make me appear taller and to make me able to dominate all the others and to mow them down with my size.

Things like that become a blur - shot at some soundstage, somewhere - that`s as much as I can remember.

Even my agents say, `We don`t know what this business is anymore.` These days, you can do a TV series for five years and all of a sudden be on top of the business. Features don`t even run in theaters very long anymore before going right to television. And every other movie is one of those action things. I mean, Lost in Space?--a bunch of good actors running around shooting at special effects on a soundstage? I took my kids to see that and almost felt like I was on an acid trip. Most of what gets made now, you laugh your way through, go home and forget you`ve seen it.

I think that being in an environment is a much richer experience than just working on a soundstage.
