The military mind has one aim, and that is to make soldiers react as mechanically as possible. They want the same predictability in a man as they do in a telephone or a machine gun, and they train their soldiers to act as a unit, not as individuals.
Acting is the least mysterious of all crafts. Whenever we want something from somebody or when we want to hide something or pretend, we're acting. Most people do it all day long.
The only reason I'm in Hollywood is that I don't have the moral courage to refuse the money.
Food has always been my friend. When I wanted to feel better or had a crisis in my life, I opened the icebox.
If there's anything unsettling to the stomach, it's watching actors on television talk about their personal lives.
It's the hardest thing in the world to accept a 'little' success and leave it that way.

An actor is at most a poet and at least an entertainer.
