When you play somebody, you pick up a lot of their gestures, his voice, the way he speaks, his body language. You don't often get that opportunity.

We rehearsed our 'Scarface' to the nines. Long period of rehearsal, so that by the time we started to shoot, it was almost like doing a play. We all had a grand time doing it. It was a wonderful cast.

When you take on different roles and become a different person, that's called acting ... It's a challenge.

When you read a script, you don't want to be the same guy all the time, you want to change, you're a different person. That's why acting is a wonderful career. You're not the same guy all the time.

An actor is an impersonator; he plays many different roles. If you played the same role all the time, God that'd be a boring career.

Lesson number one: Don't underestimate the other guy's greed.
