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.

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.

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

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.

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.

John Huston is more of a creative director than most.
