I was happy because I was acting. Most of the time for nothing. But I was learning and to learn that you can learn opens up the world for you.

We learned out craft. Acting is a craft and you must learn it. I see a lot of talent today in the kids but they don't know how to work. They don't know the craft of acting and you can only get that on the stage in theater. You cannot learn how to act in movies or in television.

I saw John Garfield smoke. He was my idol, so I smoked. I even smoked like him.

I love the theater because I love the live audience and when we went three cameras we have a live audience in the study so we had someone to play to and react to. That laughter.

Time is very important to art and if you don't have the time to select, art goes out the window.

Some days when I start to talk, my voice isnt strong. But then it warms up.

I know know why ... if something not broke, don't fix it. Twelve Angry Men was the perfect movie. The cast was just the best cast you could possibly get together. The director was Sidney Lumet, the best director around. So why they made the remake I don't know.
