I want to be an actor, maybe a comic actor but a real actor.

Which one of us, anywhere in the world, doesn't yearn to be believed when the audience is watching?

In fact, [Gene Wilder] had made a hysteric seem considerably less funny in his film debut as a terrified undertaker in "Bonnie And Clyde." And neurotics soon became his stock-in-trade, whether he was playing the weird title character in "Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory..."

Zero Mostel wasn't afraid of authority in any form, and that's the part that influenced me the most.

A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.This was said by gene wilder ... what does it mean ?

Dont put the sheep on the table.

I don't mean to sound - I don't want it to come out funny, but I don't like show business. I love - I love acting in films. I love it.
