Obviously an actor draws on his own experience.

Usually directors hire me because I'm what they are looking for. But once in a while, and it's very rare, they will hire me and then try to make me over.

An actor really is a kind of intermediary between an audience and the piece, whether it's a play or movie.

I have made a number of movies that I have never seen. It's not a matter of ego. It's a matter of being disappointed. It's really a shame. It's just as difficult to make a movie that no one cares about as to make a hit.

You never forget how to dance. It's just a matter of your bones working and things like that.

It's impossible for me to play a part without thinking about the audience.

It's true in most movies I don't use my own voice.
