I spend a lot of time with my characters.
Without discipline, there is no Marine Corp.
I was stationed at a Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego from 1965 to 1967.
I don't have to be concerned about everybody else's character.
Every character I've ever played, I always try to take him right to the edge and not allow him to fall over, but directors have a tendency to pull me back a little bit.
Even though I disagree with many of the changes, when I see the privates graduate at the end of the day, when they walk off that drill field at the end of the ceremony, they are still fine privates; outstanding, well motivated privates.
