thinking talking aging
I'm talking about when you're nearer the end of your life than the beginning. Now what do you think you think about then? The future? In the future I'm going to do this? Become that? What future? No. What you think is, 'How will I be regarded in the end?'
thinking views roles
How you prepare for a role is entirely your business in my point of view. There is little enough mystery anymore left in the world in the part of our profession, which should be clouded in mystery because it isn't in the public. You don't want the magician to show his tricks or how he did them do you? So I do think that is a very private thing that we actors should protect ourselves from.
beautiful thinking surround-yourself
Unless you can surround yourself with as many beautiful things as you can afford, I don`t think life has very much meaning.
awesome came great people run
It was awesome to run the bar. There are a lot of cool, great people who came here.
use computer quills
I'm too old-fashioned to use a computer. I'm too old-fashioned to use a quill.
fun world members
I just can't tell you what fun I've had being a member of the world's second oldest profession.
believe letters als
I couldn't believe when I first got a fan letter from Al Pacino, it was unreal.
poetic-license people poetic
Most of my life I have played a lot of famous people but most of them were dead so you have a poetic license.
these-days knows
I would rather not know about how one gets parts in movies these days.
writing turns alcoholics
In Stratford you either turn into an alcoholic or you better write.
interesting devil
The devil is more interesting than God.
evil smoking insulting
Here is Mike Wallace, who is visible to the public, and I have been watching him since the early '50s. Smoking up a storm and insulting his guests and being absolutely wonderfully evil and charming too.
fun successful interesting
If the movie is terrible you can have fun. You can joke about it and have a ball. The movie is already sort of established as a kind of extraordinary piece of work even though it hasn't opened yet to the public. It is harder because you can't go against it and you can't be interesting. You have to go with the flow. Although one is very happy to be in it, it is sort of hard to talk about it. It is hard to talk about successful. It is much easier to talk about failure.
years challenges technique
Not the challenges necessarily, but the way in which you get ready because your technique has improved over the years and you perhaps know how to be more economical than perhaps you used to be when you tried to work perhaps too hard.
