I'm What You Call A Depression Sailor.

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."

I Got A Job Immediately After Leaving High School; I Was Lucky - Three Dollars A Week And All I Could Eat, Working On A Vegetable Truck.

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.

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.

I Don't Care Whether A Role Is 10 Minutes Long Or Two Hours. And I Don't Care Whether My Name Is Up There On Top, Either. Matter Of Fact, I'd Rather Have Someone Else Get Top Billing; Then If The Picture Bombs, He Gets The Blame, Not Me.
