Fifteen years ago, I suffered a stroke, which caused me to lose my speech. Now, what does an actor who can't talk do? Wait for silent pictures to come back? I work with a speech therapist twice a week.
Acting is a youthful profession.
I didn't think I was so tough until I did 'Champion'; then I was a tough guy.
Sometimes, the thing that ties you down sets you free.
Fear is a terrible thing. It makes you do awful things.
When you have a stroke, you must talk slowly to be understood, and I've discovered that when I talk slowly, people listen. They think I'm going to say something important!
