“I learn about acting by watching real people. If I'm trying to interpret a new character I'll find someone who suits that character and I'll watch him.”
“To me there's only one position you can take as an actor. That's to get into such a financial position you can afford to say no. Integrity is one thing, but you have to be able to afford good taste.”
