The Oscar Made Me A Star, And

I Call Myself A Character Actor All My Life. I've Done A Certain Amount As A Leading Man, But Character Actors In My Estimation - It's A Lost Art These Days.

I Don't Care Whether A Role Is 10 Minutes Long Or Two Hours. And I Don't Care Whether My Name Is Up There On Top, Either. Matter Of Fact, I'd Rather Have Someone Else Get Top Billing; Then If The Picture Bombs, He Gets The Blame, Not Me.

I Wouldn't Trade Those 10 Years For Anything. The Navy Taught Me A Lot Of Things. It Molded Me As A Man, And I Made A Lot Of Wonderful Friends.

I Like To Keep At My Craft. I Like To Keep Reading Scripts, Whether I'm In It Or Not Because Of The Fact That What Would I Do In A Certain Case? How Would This Happen Or How Would That Go? I Like To Keep Working With My Mind, So When I Do Perform I Have Something To Perform With, And It's Not Just Like Trying On New Clothes. You're Trying On A Suit, But You Know Where The Heck The Pants Go.

Every Time I Step In Front Of A Camera I Feel Young Again. I Really Do. It Keeps Your Mind Active And It Keeps You Going.
