Zitat des Tages von Miguel Ferrer:
I made an enjoyable living as a very young man, but I think as I became more comfortable and knowledgeable about myself and what I wanted, I moved into acting.
I didn't sing, but I did play the drums.
I'm not one of those people who writes a biography or tries to figure out what kind of ice cream the character liked when he was 10.
I was a musician for years before I started doing this stuff. Show business was the only thing I ever considered.
'The Stand' was great. Adapted by Stephen King from his massive book.
People sorta know my face, but I can still go out to the supermarket, and nobody pays much attention.
I think 'On The Air' was a little too bizarre for TV.
In most cases, I think most executive producers and studio executives really do their best to accommodate you. At least, that's been my experience in most cases.
I think if you're a competent actor with a good imagination, and if it's on the page, it makes your job a lot easier.
Big Stephen King fan. I think he's dismissed often as a hack probably because of his prolific body of work, but he's anything but. I think he's a terrific writer. And not just a genre writer; he really approaches a number of complexities in everything he writes. So I'm a huge fan.
My favorite place in the whole world is Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Came to acting pretty late. It looked wonderful, but I guess I was intimidated by my father. I look a bit like him, and he was so much bigger than life and so great, it took me a bit longer than most people to have enough confidence in myself.
My boys have both said they want to be in the movies or on TV, and anytime I hear that, I say, 'That's wonderful; you're free to do it right after you graduate from college.'
'RoboCop' was maybe the best summer of my entire life.
You can have too much reality.
I think villainy just comes naturally to me. I get to work it out naturally so I can be a nice person in life.
First and foremost, it's got to be on the page. It starts with the writing.
My dad won an Oscar in 1951 with an un-Anglicized name, the first Hispanic to ever win an Oscar, and the Academy is so intractable to this day.
Maybe I was intimidated by my father's talent and success.
'Traffic' was so good, and I really don't want to take a step back.
We were given clear concrete tools. The course did a great job demystifying the art of fiction writing and fostering confidence. The instructor brought complex concepts down to earth. I will miss coming here every week.
I was a musician and did moderately well at that. I made an enjoyable living as a very young man, but I think as I became more comfortable and knowledgeable about myself and what I wanted, I moved into acting. I came to it rather late - later than most. I just really wanted to try my hand, and thankfully, it worked out for the most part.
I wanted to stay on TV because I've got kids who are school-aged, so I get to see them most days as opposed to going away for movies months and months at a time.
