My favorite play in drama school was 'The Bacchae.' It's about a king who literally gets eaten alive by all the women in the play in a kind of orgy - it's related to the word 'bacchanal' - and I loved that idea of animalistic chaos and following our own desires.
I think the fact that I was raised in show business in New York City in the '50s that's affected my personality to the point that I'm a little different.
