 Once you've gotten the job, there's nothing to it. If you're an actor, you're an actor. Doing it is not the hard part. The hard part is getting to do it. |
| I like the character roles. Somewhere back there I really came to the conclusion in my mind that the difference between acting and stardom was major. And that if you become a star, people are going to go to see you. If you remain an actor, they're going to go and see the story you're in. |
| The accident was a horrible thing - but that horrible thing made Chris, at the end of his life, Superman. It's a happy irony if there is such a thing. I'm proud to have known him. |
| It's sort of well-known that anytime any catastrophe happens anywhere in the world, they can count on the United States for help. |
| The reason actors, artists, writers have agents is because we'll do it for nothing. That's a basic fact - you gotta do it. |
| The best way to guarantee a loss is to quit. |
| People hear that and say I'm being modest, but I am not a modest person, but I have to be truthful about what I'm doing and what I'm doing is channeling. |
| I feel fine, I don't care who the director is. All you have to do is know what your doing - all of us - everybody in the business - that's all you ask anyone - you know your job, I know mine, let's go do it. |
| I joined the air force. I took to it immediately when I arrived there. I did three years, eight months, and ten days in all, but it took me a year and a half to get disabused of my romantic notions about it. |
| Not only do I have to live, right, I have to get some cash for my troubles - it's a scary thing, and people need to start to think about the messages that they send in the movies. |
| When I was doing theater, I was very successful at believing that I was great, God's gift to the theater. |
| People need to start to think about the messages that they send in the movies. |
| You're going to relegate my history to a month. |
| Man is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. |
| I've been living with myself all of my life, so I know all of me. So when I watch me, all I see is me. It's boring. |
| I am going to stop calling you a white man and I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man. |
| I don't get off on romantic parts. But I often think if I had had my dental work done early on, well, maybe. |
| But I can say that life is good to me. Has been and is good. So I think my task is to be good to it. So how do you be good to life? You live it. |
| Give me something interesting to play and I'm happy. |
| And that if you become a star, people are going to go to see you. If you remain an actor, they're going to go and see the story you're in. |
