From the moment I saw 'Camelot' as a kid, the organic inclination of performing before a live audience is raw and visceral.

Terrible and sublime thought, that every moment is supreme for some man and woman, every hour the apotheosis of some passion!
My day goes from one embarrassing moment to the next.
Well, I think certain roles are chosen for us. The moment I read Pete Campbell I thought: I can do this, this is mine. And in Money, too. The truth is I turn down a lot of projects. If a character doesn't have some kind of internal struggle, it's no good for me.
