There is a large element of me in every role I do. Actors who say they,can dive inside a character are either schizophrenic or lying.

[When asked what he would want with him if stuck on a deserted island],"A continent. ",[about Assault on Dome 4 (1996) (TV) and Moontrap (1989) ]:,The movies that are the easiest to make are the hardest to watch.

[About the Evil Dead trilogy] For me, the first film was frankly about,learning how to act. I can watch [The Evil Dead (1981) ] from,about halfway on without cringing . . . When,Army of Darkness (1992) came around, we decided to make a,different type of movie altogether and made an action-adventure picture,with the same imbecile.

It seemed that my lot in life was to either have big parts in small,films or small parts in big films.
