- [on playing "Ramrod" the pimp in Vice Squad (1982)] It's interesting about that role. I didn't prepare a damn for it. I was doing the soap opera The Young and the Restless (1973) and dying to get out of it; I'd been on it for about three and a half years. We were shooting it during the day and all night long I would do "Vice Squad." I was so tired I didn't have any social graces at all, so I just let go.
- I'm from California, not New York. California actors are more geared to entertain. There's nothing worse than boring the audience. The New York actors I've worked with are very realistic, but reality can be boring. I like to put a little turbo power into my performance.
- I just like putting new skin on and going in and doing some new character. My problem is that I've never been able to find the top to go over. There's a lot of room up there.
