We're shooting in this Victorian set for weeks, and Hackett is pissed all the time, angry that he's not the center of attention, and finally we get to the scene where we've gotta shoot him at the window, saying, "Go get my boots," or whatever. The set is stocked with Victorian extras and little children in Oliver kind of outfits, and the director says, "All right, Bud - just give it whatever you want." And Hackett goes off on a rant. Unbelievably obscene.

The truth is, anybody that becomes famous is an ass for a year and a half. You've got to give them a year and a half, two years.

I give everybody a year or two to pull it together because, when it first happens, I know how it is.
