I loved school, maybe too much, really. I was summa cum laude in high school. I was driven that way.
I'd been an actor in high school, and when I got to college, it was all about film.
I went to James Monroe High School, a big school in the East Bronx. My first promotion was the first alumni reunion dance. I got all the names and addresses out of the yearbook. It came off very well.
I think I'm probably much better at the boots and pocket knife thing than I am at the high heels and martini thing.

The first time I acted was in high school in Florida, and when I heard that applause I felt so alive and felt that electricity go up my spine.
