I'm slow to pick things up. Everybody always seems to know more than I do.

I did so many interviews and auditions for films, and it was just zilch. Nothing I did impressed anybody! I could just feel it. It was always, 'Okay, thank you, Mr. Lloyd.' Then, out of the blue, 'Cuckoo's Nest' came to cast. A casting director who sent me up for different things over the years sent me up for that, and it just clicked.

I wanted to do film. I was living in New York and working in theater, but I always wanted to do film.
