"My work has a lot to do with the choices I made in my life," he said in 1990. At least ten years have been dedicated to the theater, and that has been my passion over the last two years. I haven't made much of an attempt at films. Before I ever did The Hoodlum Priest, I did more than 20 plays, and (after that) I've appeared in more than 20 films. It wasn't as if the company had fired me; I had just made some life decisions that I now had to pay the piper for. So there was no film career at all. I'm still working (in theater). If I'm not on stage or not involved in some other field, I'm working with my wife on another project. I no longer live my life on the phone, waiting for my phone to ring to allow me permission to work."
