Miguel Ferrer

I think 'On The Air' was a little too bizarre for TV.

In most cases, I think most executive producers and studio executives really do their best to accommodate you. At least, that's been my experience in most cases.

RoboCop' was maybe the best summer of my entire life.

Came to acting pretty late. It looked wonderful, but I guess I was intimidated by my father. I look a bit like him, and he was so much bigger than life and so great, it took me a bit longer than most people to have enough confidence in myself.

I was a musician and did moderately well at that. I made an enjoyable living as a very young man, but I think as I became more comfortable and knowledgeable about myself and what I wanted, I moved into acting. I came to it rather late - later than most. I just really wanted to try my hand, and thankfully, it worked out for the most part.

The first several years I was an actor, I sort of eked out a living playing thugs almost exclusively until 'Robocop.'

I was a musician for years before I started doing this stuff. Show business was the only thing I ever considered.

I think villainy just comes naturally to me. I get to work it out naturally so I can be a nice person in life.

If your attention is on superfluous aspects that are not part of the story, then you can't be concentrating on the human realities of the piece.

I think I was never home when I was directing, because you're either prepping, shooting, or editing, and then acting at the same time. It's really time-consuming, but it was great fun.

I think if you're a competent actor with a good imagination, and if it's on the page, it makes your job a lot easier.
