(on Sergio Leone) I spun off Sergio and he spun off me. I think we worked well together. I like his compositions. He has a very good eye. I liked him, I liked his sense of humor, but I feel it was mutual. He liked dealing with the kind of character I was putting together.

A long time ago, when I was a kid, I wanted to be a pop star. Then I started taking acting classes. I moved to New York when I was a teenager, and really wanted to be a serious actor. I wanted to do off-Broadway, I wanted to do (Anton Chekhov), (William Shakespeare). I wanted to have a Meryl Streep kind of career. When Footloose (1984) came out, I became a pop star, but by then that`s not what I wanted. I wasn`t being taken seriously. I wasn`t smart about the industry and the ways that you can parlay pop stardom into a serious acting career if you make the right choices. I spun my wheels for a while, and then I got this part in Oliver Stone`s JFK (1991). It`s a small part, but very character-driven: gay, fascist, I mean, it was extreme. That turned things around for me. I didn`t even read for it. Oliver just looked at me and said, "Will you transform yourself for me?" And I said, "Yes". Off-Broadway I`d been doing that, but that doesn`t mean anybody in the movie industry is going to see you that way.

We face the biggest risk here of any circuit we race on. The danger isn`t so much hitting the tyre barriers as hitting another car that has already spun.

I just got into the corner and got on the gas to try and have good speed when I got to the start/finish and the car started going up a little bit and spun around. We just missed it a little bit.

But when he spun on the third one that really allowed me to relax a bit.

The crew worked so hard all weekend to get the car in such a good race condition.
