I'm Still Watching All Those Old-timers Really

I Like To Keep At My Craft. I Like To Keep Reading Scripts, Whether I'm In It Or Not Because Of The Fact That What Would I Do In A Certain Case? How Would This Happen Or How Would That Go? I Like To Keep Working With My Mind, So When I Do Perform I Have Something To Perform With, And It's Not Just Like Trying On New Clothes. You're Trying On A Suit, But You Know Where The Heck The Pants Go.

It Was My Mom Who Told Me, "ernie, If You Make Even One Person Happy With Your Smile Or A Funny Thing You Did Every Day, You'll Have Accomplished A Great Deal." And That's All I've Ever Tried To Do.

The Oscar Made Me A Star, And I'm Grateful. But I Feel Had I Not Won The Oscar I Wouldn't Have Gotten Into The Messes I Did In My Personal Life.

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.

I'm Still Watching All Those Old-timers Really Going Along, And I'm Enjoying It So Much, Not Just Looking At The Pictures, But Looking At The Acting. Paul Muni. Beautiful Character. Edward G. Robinson. Jimmy Cagney. All Those Old Boys. You Don't Find Those Characters Anymore.
