In Hitchcocks eyes the movement was dramatic, not the acting. When he wanted the audience to be moved, he moved the camera. He was a subtle human being, and he was also the best director I have ever worked with.

I never voted for a president until I felt Obama had a dream and might pull it off, and that was the first time I ever voted for a president.

In all American professional sports you start on a certain level and you have to work your way up through a farm system. It's really the same in acting.

I'm not a good reader. I had to take remedial reading in school. I was a slow reader and therefore it's tough for me to stay interested in things long enough, I've read, probably, since college maybe 10 books, which is disgusting.

Track and field has always interested me.

The people I worked with were bigger than life. Once you put them on the screen, they were huge.
