People think I have an interesting walk. Hell, I'm just trying to hold my gut in.
I kept the same suit for six years and the same dialogue. They just changed the title of the picture and the leading lady.
I never changed anything, except my socks and my underwear. And I never did anything to glorify myself or improve my lot. I took what came and did the best I could with it.
These kids only want to talk about acting method and motivation. in my day all we talked about was screwing and overtime.
There just isn't any pleasing some people. The trick is to stop trying.
Maybe love is like luck. You have to go all the way to find it.
This is not a tough job. You read a script. If you like the part and the money is O.K., you do it. Then you remember your lines. You show up on time. You do what the director tells you to do. When you finish, you rest and then go on to the next part. That's it.
Every two or three years, I knock off for a while. That way I`m always the new girl in the whorehouse.
I never will believe there is such a thing as a great actor.
