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.

I'm 83 And A Half Years Old And I Feel Fine. I Feel Like A Teenager But I'm Unable To Do A Lot Of The Things That I Used To Do But I Enjoy Life To The Fullest.

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.

I Saw John Garfield Smoke. He Was My Idol, So I Smoked. I Even Smoked Like Him.
