I don't know if I have a technique. I'm just trying to remember the words.

I think all actors are supposed to be character actors.

When I was a kid going to the movies, we'd go because Bogart was in the movie, or Cagney, or John Wayne. We didn't know what the story was about or anything.

I'd love to do a Western. A real Western like John Ford used to do. There's not too many of them made, so I don't know if I'll ever get to do that. They're awfully hard movies to make.

There's a whole catalogue of actors that never went to acting school.

Do whatever you're directed to do, and leave the rest of that technical stuff up to the director.

I read the script and try not to bring anything personal into it. I make notes, talk to the director and we decide what kinds of shades should be in the character.
