I think it would be great for the Academy to recognize old age.
My most useful acting tip came from my pal John Wayne. Talk low, talk slow, and don't say too much.
A lot of movie stars are not great actors; they're just very good-looking. And when they start to age and they don't have the looks any more, then it's over.
I don't see myself as anything. I just wander around getting on with my life.
If you're a leading actor you don't work with another actor. You work with a lady.
I'm trying to work only with established, respected directors. I took a lot of bad scripts and worked for a lot of lazy directors, and it was discouraging to go to the screenings and see that the director had added nothing, the editor had added nothing, there was nothing to see.
