We Treat Old People So Badly. There

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

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 Love The Theater. I Love The Rehearsals. That's Where You Build A Performance. That's Your Foundation. If You're Gonna Build A House, You Start With The Foundation. That Makes The House Strong. That's The Way I Build A Character, From The Foundation Out.

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

I Was Happy Because I Was Acting. Most Of The Time For Nothing. But I Was Learning And To Learn That You Can Learn Opens Up The World For You.
