Dancing came easy for me. Acting came hard.
From Charles Durning
I was born a character actor.
I never turned down anything and never argued with any producer or director.
I lack confidence as an actor.
If I had my druthers, I would do only stage work.
I was doing judo before anybody knew it existed in this country.
Sometimes you succeed and sometimes you don't.
Acting is ephemeral. You can't hang it on a wall. You can't throw it off. And you can't bring it out of a closet. It's there one night and it's gone the next, at least with stage acting anyhow.
I think I've done 200 plays and 125 movies, so I've been very lucky to have made a living at acting.
