I'm What You Call A

I Call Myself A Character Actor All My Life. I've Done A Certain Amount As A Leading Man, But Character Actors In My Estimation - It's A Lost Art These Days.

We've All Got A Lot Of Catching Up To Do. I'm Still Learning How To Act, For God's Sake. When I See These Old-timers On The Turner Classic Movies, I Still Get Ideas, You Know. That's Where You Really Learn Acting. If You Really See Some Of These Old Boys Working It And You Say To Yourself, "my God, If I Could Really Do That That Would Be Wonderful."

I Like To Keep At My Craft. I Like To Keep Reading Scripts, Whether I'm In It Or Not Because Of The Fact That What Would I Do In A Certain Case? How Would This Happen Or How Would That Go? I Like To Keep Working With My Mind, So When I Do Perform I Have Something To Perform With, And It's Not Just Like Trying On New Clothes. You're Trying On A Suit, But You Know Where The Heck The Pants Go.

Every Time You Play One Old-time Picture Along With Today's Kind Of Work, And They Throw In The Computers And The Guns And The This And The That And The God-almighty, It Gets To Be A Hassle And You Wonder Who The Hell's Doing What!

We Got Together, And Bruce Willis Was Just A Sweet Animal, A Sweetheart. I Tell You, Right Down To The Core He's Just A Real Professional, A Real Gentleman, And I Must Say I'm So Very Happy For Him That He's Got A Heck Of A Good Film.
