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

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.

Nevertheless, I tend to get offensive easily.

John Huston is more of a creative director than most.

If the guy has a gun, that's the power. He doesn't need to wave the gun; he just needs to point the gun in a very relaxed fashion.

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.

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.
