Poverty Can Teach Lessons That

Suddenly It Was Gone. I'd Lost More Than My Voice And My Career. I'd Lost My Best Friend.

I Always Loved To Gamble. I Never Got Close To A Horse. Fate Dealt Me A Terrible Blow When It Gave Me A Good Horse The First Time Out. I Thought How Easy This Is. Now I Love Being Around Them.

We Learned Out Craft. Acting Is A Craft And You Must Learn It. I See A Lot Of Talent Today In The Kids But They Don't Know How To Work. They Don't Know The Craft Of Acting And You Can Only Get That On The Stage In Theater. You Cannot Learn How To Act In Movies Or In Television.

The Only Tool We Have As Artists Is Selectivity. If You're A Painter, You Select The Color, The Lines, How Severe They Should Be. As An Actor You Develop How Angry You Should Be. You Select How Angry You Should Be. You Listen To The Other Actor And Then You React. In Film, Sometimes The Other Actor Isn't Even There. You Have To Play The Scene. What I Do Is I Call On My Experience On The Stage. I Play The Scene And I Hope That I Reach A Certain Level Of Integrity Because That's What I Learned On The Stage.

Time Is Very Important To Art And If You Don't Have The Time To Select, Art Goes Out The Window.
