men mice seen watched
I've often wondered, when they've done Of Mice And Men on stage, and I've seen it, how they did that gun thing. I've watched it on stage, but I don't remember it.
I was very conscious of the actor; watched what he did.
began came fact gotten hair
One thing that came up, that I haven't gotten over yet, was the fact that when I began working on the role, I went and had my hair bleached white.
seconds waiting
I have 30 seconds to tell you I have been waiting 60 years to get on this stage.
actual aided call scene using
I feel that the thing that probably aided me the most in that scene with the dog was the utilization and using an actual recreation, affective memory, if you want to call it, of pain.
absolutely broadway high moment prices terms
The only thing I know about Broadway at the moment is that the box-office prices are absolutely unbelievable in terms of high they are.
awareness men mice
Well, I would think that, uh... yeah, I would think that Of Mice And Men would heighten people's awareness of other people's problems.
If it's not in New York, let's say it's in St. Louis, then they've got to find a place or get with someone who knows about the work... they've got to find a place like that and do scenes, and then try to get in plays.
behind career favorite guy three tv vacation work yell
I never should have done 'My Favorite Martian' (1963). I didn't work in TV or film for three years after. Everyone thought of me as a Martian. Do you know what it's like to go to Madrid, Spain, on vacation and have a guy yell out, 'Hey, Martin!' and put antennas behind his head? When that happens, you know your career is dead.
love
I love going on location, and the location was nice.
talent
Talent will come out.
movie kids play
I suppose when I was a kid, and I went to movies, and later went to some plays on my own when I got a little older, in New Orleans, where I was living then, I zeroed in on the actor.
movie
I don't see all the movies that come out.
book thinking differences
But I would like to think that it's the actor that makes the difference in these cases. Not the director, not the guy that wrote the book, not the guy that adapted it for the screen, but the actor.
