I Call Myself A Character Actor All

You Get Kicked Around Long Enough, You Become A Professor Of Pain.

There's An Awful Lot To Be Desired. I've Gone To Places Where People Say To Me, "what's Your Technique?" Technique? What The Hell Technique Is There To Acting? We're Acting Because Even With My Voice I'm Giving What I Think Is What I Want To Say.

Writers Used To Make Such Wonderful Pictures Without All That Swearing, All That Cursing. And Now It Seems That You Can't Say Three Words Without Cursing. And I Don't Think That's Right.

I've Been To A Number Of Places And Seen For Myself The Caliber Of People Who Are In The Navy Today - In All The Services For That Matter. This Is An Altogether Different Bunch. These People Of Today Are Really Bright, Young, Good People.

We've All Got A Lot Of Catching Up To Do. I'm Still Learning How To Act, For God's Sake. When I See These Old-timers On The Turner Classic Movies, I Still Get Ideas, You Know. That's Where You Really Learn Acting. If You Really See Some Of These Old Boys Working It And You Say To Yourself, "my God, If I Could Really Do That That Would Be Wonderful."
