It's Not Your Word That

I Got A Job Immediately After Leaving High School; I Was Lucky - Three Dollars A Week And All I Could Eat, Working On A Vegetable Truck.

A Lot Of People Forget That Today. They Come To The Point Where You Walk On A Set And The First Thing You Know You're Looking At The Sound Man And You're Saying To Yourself, "how The Hell Can They Get Any Sound When Nobody Is Talking!" They Get All Mumbly. You Can't Make Out What They're Saying! And You're 6 Feet Away From Them! Whereas In The Old-time Movies, You Hear Them, You Understand Every Word They're Saying, And You Didn't Have To Put On Your Loudspeaker.

I'm Still Watching All Those Old-timers Really Going Along, And I'm Enjoying It So Much, Not Just Looking At The Pictures, But Looking At The Acting. Paul Muni. Beautiful Character. Edward G. Robinson. Jimmy Cagney. All Those Old Boys. You Don't Find Those Characters Anymore.

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.

I Don't Chart Out The Life Histories Of The People I Play. If I Did, I'd Be In Trouble. I Work With My Heart And My Head, And Naturally Emotions Follow.
