Talent will come out.

If it’s not in New York, let’s say it’s in St. Louis, then they’ve got to find a place or get with someone who knows about the work… they’ve got to find a place like that and do scenes, and then try to get in plays.

You could walk the streets, no matter how hungry people were, not matter how long they’d been out of jobs, you could walk the streets, you could ride the subways in New York, and you would not get knocked in the head.

I’ve often wondered, when they’ve done Of Mice And Men on stage, and I’ve seen it, how they did that gun thing. I’ve watched it on stage, but I don’t remember it.

I was very conscious of the actor; watched what he did.

I didn’t study acting.

I love going on location, and the location was nice.

I don’t see all the movies that come out.

I feel that the thing that probably aided me the most in that scene with the dog was the utilization and using an actual recreation, affective memory, if you want to call it, of pain.

I should have been trying to build a career, rather than leaving it in the hands of somebody else.

I have worked with some very great directors.

But I would like to think that it’s the actor that makes the difference in these cases. Not the director, not the guy that wrote the book, not the guy that adapted it for the screen, but the actor.

I don’t watch television.

I suppose when I was a kid, and I went to movies, and later went to some plays on my own when I got a little older, in New Orleans, where I was living then, I zeroed in on the actor.

If they’re working in a workshop somewhere, where there is, let’s say, uh… only twenty people, or something like that, that’s still, when they work and do a scene, that’s still working in front of somebody.
