What's This Thing That Gets Between Us

The Physical Stamina [in Revolution]. I Was Just Shocked By It. I Didn't Think I Had It In Me Ever, And I Wasn't Terribly Young When I Did It. I Was In My Early Forties. That Was The First Thing I Was Struck By, Not By The Acting, Not By Anything Else, But By The Physicality.

The Problem With Me Is, I Guess, The Way I Express Myself, You Have To Be With Me 50 Years Before You Can Get A Sense Of What I'm Talking About.

A Lot Of Actors Choose Parts By The Scripts, But I Don't Trust Reading The Scripts That Much. I Try To Get Some Friends Together And Read A Script Aloud. Sometimes I Read Scripts And Record Them And Play Them Back To See If There's A Movie. It's Very Evocative; It's Like A First Cut Because You Hear 'she Walked To The Door,' And You Visualize All These Things. 'she Opens The Door' . . . Because You Read The Stage Directions, Too.

You Never Open Your Mouth Until You Know What The Shot Is.

It's Never Really That Much Fun For Me To Do Movies Anyway, Because You - You Know, You Have To Get Up Very Early In The Morning And You Have To Go In And You Spend A Lot Of Time Waiting Around.
