I Don't Have To Explain

When An Actor Plays A Scene Exactly The Way A Director Orders, It Isn't Acting. It's Following Instructions. Anyone With The Physical Qualifications Can Do That.

I Didn't Know What To Do. How Do You Tell An Eight-year-old Boy His Mother's Going To Die? I Tried. In My Own Stumbling Way I Tried To Prepare Jim For It. Nowadays, He Lives In A World We Don't Understand Too Well, The Actor's World. We Don't See Too Much Of Him. But He's A Good Boy, My Jim. A Good Boy, And I'm Very Proud Of Him. Not Easy To Understand, No Sir. He's Not Easy To Understand. But He's All Man, And He'll Make His Mark. Mind You, My Boy Will Make His Mark.

Being A Good Actor Isn't Easy. Being A Man Is Even Harder. I Want To Be Both Before I'm Done.

Whatever’s Inside Making Me What I Am, It’s Like Film. Film Only Works In The Dark. Tear It All Open And Let In The Light And You Kill It.
