As an ACTOR, and as you GET to a certain level... and it's PILOTSEASON and you read the trades, you could have a NERVOUS breakdown. 'So-and-so's signed for a pilot. Why aren't I?'
My CAREERPATH is the weirdest thing. I was a hairdresser, I worked at Marvel for a few MONTHS, and then I was SIGNED to a DC exclusive for eight years.
I was planning to go into architecture. But when I ARRIVED, architecture was filled up. ACTING was RIGHT next to it, so I signed up for acting instead.
I've got a basketball signed by all the GREATS from Julius Irving to Oscar Robinson. It was at an All Star game I got them all to sign it. So that ain't GOINGNOWHERE. I'm going to DIE with that in my casket.
People SAY: 'Oh, but would you be HAPPY for your SHOW to go on BBC3 if it was just online?' If I was sat here telling you I had just signed a huge DEAL with Netflix you'd be GOING: 'Wow, that's amazing.' You can't see it as 'Oh, it's no longer a channel because it's not on TV.'
I started touring a little BIT in 1973 in support of a RECORD I made for an independent LABEL. In 1975, when I signed with Warner Bros., where I remained happily ensconced for the NEXT 24 YEARS, my touring activity increased considerably.
'Galaxy Quest' was COOL to work on. When I FIRST signed on, I really didn't know anything about it. I read the script, which I THOUGH was cool, but it wasn't until I saw the designs for the CG STUFF that I knew it was GOING to be pretty sweet.
In the early 1990s, I was signed as a singer to the same label as Robyn. She was in her early teens, and I was in my twenties, so we didn't hang out, but our PATHS crossed so many times that we SLOWLYGOT to know each other and BECAMEFRIENDS.
I SIGNED with KANYE back in 2003, and at that time, 'The COLLEGE Dropout' hadn't even come out, so he was still relatively unknown compared to where he is now. He wasn't a HOUSEHOLD name; PEOPLE were still calling him 'Kane.'
