I Don't Want To Become A Superstar

I Watched Gene Kelly For His Smile, For His Energy. Vittorio Gassman For His Movement. Clark Gable For His Mustache. And I Watched Lassie Who Was Happy As A Dog.

In Many Cases For An Actor It's A Comfortable Position To Be In. But It's Harder To Fail As A Director.

I Don't Represent Myself As A Star, But An Actor Who Wants To Make Movies.

Its Quite Pretentious, Really, Isnt It? The Notion The Audience Is Going To Be Interested In You For An Hour And A Half. Think Too Much About That And Anxiety Takes Over.

I'm Happiest On Set Because I'm Not Myself. I'm Someone Else. The Moustache, The Dinner Jacket. It's Not Me. You're Always This Sort Of Double, And It's Liberating. Imagine Being Stuck With Yourself... All Those Doubts.
