I Thought I Was So Much Smarter

What I Learned About Acting, From My Experiences Directing, Is Why So Many Producers And Directors Don't Like Actors. You Go Through All Of This Work Securing A Location, Figuring Out How To Get Electricity There, How To Get Trucks Parked Where They Need To Be, And Where Catering Is Going To Come From. And If The Actors Don't Come Up With Some Magic, It Actually Didn't Matter. That Creates A Lot Of Animosity Towards The Actors.

I Auditioned For Robert Redford Once And I Was So Starstruck I Couldn't Even Speak. I Had A Mic Wire At A Screen Test Clipped To Me And Then I Got Kind Of Nervous And I Paced In A Circle And Then Took A Step And Tripped And Fell On My Face. You Just Have To Forgive Yourself And Keep Going On.

It Is Very Difficult For Any Couple Who Are Married If Both People Are Ambitious. I Don't Know If It's Just Too Hard To Be Married To A Woman That Wants To Be A Movie Star.

I Think It's My Job To Risk Looking Foolish. One Of The Things I've Learned From The Actors I've Worked With Is You Don't Get Something For Nothing. If You Don't Risk Looking Foolish, You'll Never Do Anything Special.

I Have Had So Many Bad Auditions.
