I'm What You Call A Depression Sailor.

I Wouldn't Trade Those 10 Years For Anything. The Navy Taught Me A Lot Of Things. It Molded Me As A Man, And I Made A Lot Of Wonderful Friends.

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'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.

You Got To Keep Your Hand In Your Craft, Otherwise You Can Rot At The Roots And First Thing You Know, You Got Nothing.

I Call Myself A Character Actor All My Life. I've Done A Certain Amount As A Leading Man, But Character Actors In My Estimation - It's A Lost Art These Days.
