I&#8217;ve turned down some decent roles, because you have to jump from twenty stories and go through the roof of a bus, and you&#8217;re all mangled. So I always hate those. And I don&#8217;t want to hold up people who have no virtue whatsoever as role models, because we fall in love with those people! It&#8217;s like Tony Soprano, he&#8217;s a real brute. Throws some girl over the desk and fucks her from behind, and then he&#8217;d go to the psychiatrist and we empathize with him. For adults, we should be able to absorb that and come out the other side in a wholesome way, but it&#8217;s hard.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from the vulture interview with lily tomlin: You used to go to showrunners and ask to guest-star on their programs: The X Files, The West Wing, Damages.
