I have more fun when I’m working, and I have a lot of laughs.
And I get respect, too sometimes.”
Whether or not Caan gets his wish, he will be remembered as a shining star of American cinema.

I can get that.
I mean, I couldn’t stand it.
I’d have to go out and beat up a wildcat or something.”
As for himself, though, Caan said he was fine seeing himself on screen.
“But yeah, I mean, there’s a few that I’m extra proud of.
Let’s put it that way.
Those ones I would watch more than once.
