shapes strange kind
And in reaching out and doing these new things you get into this strange kind of shape where you are better off than if you were just resting, because you're using things that wouldn't otherwise be mute.
fun proud like-you
When you hear Treat's [ Williams] doing a movie, or you'd like to work with Treat again, you hope the script is good. And then you find out the script is good. You go and you do it for the fun of it. And you feel like you can be proud of something.
mean character woody
Woody [Allen] is a fascinating character to be around. You don't really know what he's going to want. You're on your toes, but you're on your heels too, if you know what I mean.
sense-of-humor film woody
I did a movie with Woody Allen ["Hollywood Ending" in 2002]. I only had a few days with Treat on that film. I immediately liked Treat. Treat and I had a sense of humor about the whole thing.
thinking kind politician
I went in to play the most corrupt politician I could possibly think of [in "The Congressman"] and to do it with a certain kind of charm.
people guy care
You do a movie [where] you like the script [and] it has something to say that you care about. And there are certain people in this industry that you kind of stick with. Guys like ["The Congressman" producer] Fred Roos. They call you, and if you're not working, that's what you do.
different
One works in this business - if one works. You do different types of movies.
war guy together
Treat [Williams] and I have remained sort of like war buddies. He's a good guy. It doesn't matter who is the wingman, you just know that you work good together.
flying good-times private-jet
I had a good time doing ["The Congressman"], and I hope that Treat [Williams] and I plan to go flying in his [private] jet!
karma laughing acting
This is a business that I have always had the last laugh in.It has nothing to do with acting, it has to do with good karma.
believe character guy
John Milius and Francis Ford Coppola and Oliver Stone - those guys are consummate filmmakers. They believe that you don't talk it, you show it. So when I find a role now, I try to find a visual way to tell what the character is about rather than trying to speak about it.
makeup
Cary Grant was on the back lot one time doing a movie called "North by Northwest." I would see Cary outside the stage, and he would sit on a set chair and had one of those reflectors. He wanted this tan so he didn't have to use makeup.
beach character dark
One day when I was working on a movie, I stayed at the beach a little too long, and they said, "You are going to ruin a whole day of shooting because you're so dark. Two days ago you weren't like this!"So I started putting that in the character; I made him suntanned all the time.
giving people different
The first thing my agent told me in 1959 was he said you have to have something recognizable that people will remember. "What are you? Do you have cleft in your chin? You have a Jimmy Stewart kind of talk?" And I thought I don't know what I can give them that will be different.
