There Was One Titanic Guiding

I Want To Play A Man In Uniform. I've Got Tremendous Respect For That Life That They Lead. We Know So Little About It. It's Never Discussed Or Talked About, When They Come Back From Battle. I Want To Examine The Choices That Have To Be Made In Those Terrible Times. [...] I'll Get To Wear A Uniform.

You Don't Go To A Town To Present The Play And Have Applause At The End Of It, But That's Benign Conquest. It's A Glorious Way Of Exploring Other Landscapes And Other Cultures In A Very Life-affirming Way.

If The Director Wishes To Print It, Then You Have A Series Of Choices, Maybe Millions Of Choices Within That Minute-and-a-half, Or 80 Seconds, Or 2 Minutes Or However Long Or Short The Take Is, You Have All Those Choices Committed To Celluloid. I Find That Absolutely Thrilling.

You Want To Know What I Want? I'll Tell You What I Want. I Want Back What Bobby Fischer Took With Him When He Disappeared.

You Can Throw Away The Privilege Of Acting, But That Would Be Such A Shame. The Tribe Has Elected You To Tell Its Story. You Are The Shaman/healer, That's What The Storyteller Is, And I Think It's Important For Actors To Appreciate That. Too Often Actors Think It's All About Them, When In Reality It's All About The Audience Being Able To Recognize Themselves In You. The More You Pull Away From The Public, The Less Power You Have On Screen.
