I Think What You See [in Salome The Play Backstage] Is An Artist Having This Fit Of Temperament.

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.

I Didn't Want The Book [of Memoirs] Out, Naturally - Larry [grobel] Knew That For 20 Years, 15 At Least, I Didn't Want Anything Written About Me. Then, You Know, Things Happen, Finally It's Ok And I Trust Larry. Nothing About It Is Salacious In Any Way.

I've Often Said There's Two Kinds Of Actors. There's A More Gregarious Type And The Shy Type.
