If you're an employer, you want to hire an employee who'll do their job, not do your bidding.

Well, I think that there is a connection between being a lawyer and a doctor and an actor. They kind of, in some ways, have the same appeal, I suppose.

My son tried to work in films and he ultimately gave it up, he finally couldn't make a living, he couldn't support himself. He worked all the time and he didn't make enough money to have a house, have an apartment.

Every actor wants to have a character that changes, that has some kind of movement, that gets from point A to point B, that doesn't just supply one note.

I just hope that some of the movies I'm in are still welcome years from now.

So when you make an impression in a certain kind of role, that tends to be the type of role that you get offered.

I got a phone call from Douglas Campbell and from Jerome Guthrie, who offered me a job out of the blue.
