two years oscars
You're only two years older than me, darling. Where have you been all my life?
valentine andrew
Working with Julie Andrews is like getting hit over the head with a valentine.
thinking views roles
How you prepare for a role is entirely your business in my point of view. There is little enough mystery anymore left in the world in the part of our profession, which should be clouded in mystery because it isn't in the public. You don't want the magician to show his tricks or how he did them do you? So I do think that is a very private thing that we actors should protect ourselves from.
mirrors looks were-meant-to-be
Sometimes you have to look into a mirror and look at the worst you could have been if you're ever going to know the best you were meant to be.
these-days knows
I would rather not know about how one gets parts in movies these days.
kings knowing roles
Theater roles are written by the great masters. The greatest literature that you can possibly know are the theater roles like King Lear, Hamlet, and all of those great roles. So all you do is you dive into these unchallenged roles and see how far you can get, what kind of accolades you can get, and how good you can be in them. In movie roles, you can actually improve them by knowing a lot about your own stage technique, which helps a great deal in the cinema and how you can project inner humor even though the particular dialogue is not necessarily funny, but you can infuse it with humor.
poetic-license people poetic
Most of my life I have played a lot of famous people but most of them were dead so you have a poetic license.
interesting devil
The devil is more interesting than God.
thinking talking aging
I'm talking about when you're nearer the end of your life than the beginning. Now what do you think you think about then? The future? In the future I'm going to do this? Become that? What future? No. What you think is, 'How will I be regarded in the end?'
canadian-actor playing realized though
They realized I was alive again, even though I was playing an old, dying sop.
