F. Murray Abraham : (4)

" After I finished school, I headed for Los Angeles, thinking, ‘Movies. Beaches.’ But I wanted to do serious stage work, so I upped sticks and moved to New York to study. I did the usual day jobs to support myself – waiting on tables, washing dishes, parking cars, anything to pay the rent. I was a terrible waiter, by the way. " - F. Murray Abraham

" I’m a comedian at heart, and I really can make people laugh, but ever since ‘Amadeus,’ all I seem to do is play dramatic roles and villains. " - F. Murray Abraham

" It sounds funny, but I felt that my responsibility as an American actor was to let the British know we can act as well as they can. " - F. Murray Abraham

" I just throw it out and see what happens. If it sounds and feels right, then I continue. " - F. Murray Abraham
