On radio and television magazines and the movies you can't tell what you're going to get. When you look at the comic page you can usually depend on something acceptable by the entire family.

I always always meant to be on stage. I only ended up even auditioning for television and movies because I was understudying a Turgenev play on Broadway and was so broke that when I got a mini-series I had to take it and was so ashamed because I was such a snob.

I took acting classes in college and once I graduated I decided to give acting a shot when I couldn't really think of anything else to do. It took me a couple of years to get an agent and my first big break was The Fanelli Boys which was a sitcom on NBC. Then I did a few television movies.

And I believe that you never be limited in what you do so I like to do movies I like to do television.

I'm still going to do television. I'm just not going to do morning television. I would like to do some things that satisfy interests private interests.

I have got up at truly deplorable hours in the morning to confront Vancouver's Jack Webster on television because I have been told that is the place to get exposure for ideas.

But of course when people watch morning television Terry it's a very different animal. You know they're running around they're getting their kids ready for school they're probably doing eight million things they're brushing their teeth.

The thing that fascinates me is that the way I came to film and television is extinct. Then there were gatekeepers it was prohibitively expensive to make a film to be a director you had to be an entrepreneur to raise money.

Wouldn't it be great if you could only get AIDS by giving money to television preachers?

And also there wasn't much money in television in those days anyhow.
