Nobody “becomes” a character. You can’t act unless you are who you are.
I thank you for not snoring.
I don’t think I was constructed to be monogamous. I don’t think it’s the nature of any man to be monogamous. Men are propelled by genetically ordained impulses over which they have no control to distribute their seed into as many females as possible.
I only mean forty per cent of what I say.
I have eyes like those of a dead pig.
The close-up says everything, it’s then that an actor’s learned, rehearsed behavior becomes most obvious to an audience and chips away, unconsciously, at its experience of reality. In a close-up, the audience is only inches away, and your face becomes the stage.
The power and influence of a movie star is curious: I didn’t ask for it or take it; people gave it to me. Simply because you’re a movie star, people empower you with special rights and privileges.
Elvis Presley had nothing to do with excellence, just myth.
The only thing an actor owes his public is not to bore them.
The Jews control Hollywood and use it to promote their own agenda.
An actor’s a guy who, if you ain’t talking about him, ain’t listening.
I don’t mind that I’m fat. You still get the same money.
Acting serves as the quintessential social lubricant and a device for protecting our interests and gaining advantage in every aspect of life.

In being a loving son, I suppose I was trying to become a loved son.
I can still taste that first beer I bought with my own paycheck.
People often say that an actor ‘plays’ a character well, but that’s an amateurish notion. Developing a characterization is not merely a matter of putting on makeup and a costume and stuffing Kleenex in your mouth. That’s what actors used to do, and then called it a characterization. In acting everything comes out of what you are, or some aspect of who you are.
If you’ve never known love, you never know where it is, you don’t know what it looks like or it sounds like, you look in the most unlikely places to find it.
Maybe you’re desperate for love. Always have been in your life. But you’ve been distrustful of people. Is there anything about them that scares us, that’s dangerous, that’s going to hurt us? Because a lot of people are frightened to death of love.
Every spring the meadow in front of the house became an ocean of canary-colored mustard blossoms, and when a wind came up, it was like watching a sea of rippling golden waves rising and falling with the breeze like breakers just before they pound into a reef.
