I knew I was a good stage actor but I had no idea about movies. And I wasn't a Paul Newman type of guy. That's why I thought the stage is just right for me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is probably some great acting that goes on in movies from people who have never been on a stage, but if you are in for the long haul, you'd be missing an enormous part of what being an actor is if you're not part of theater.
I feel that I am a good actor.
I never had any desire to be a film actor. I never thought I was the good-looking movie type, which I assumed they wanted.
I think I am a much better actor than I have allowed myself to be.
I never wanted to become an actor to be famous. I just wanted to be a good actor. It served me pretty well.
I come from a huge theater background. The whole action and stunt world just came as the roles were available.
I always wanted to be a great actor.
I thought the best route to being the great actor I wanted to be was to play the great classical parts.
I never thought I was much of an actor anyway.
I realized early on I was not an actor. And it was a great thing to have that realization. To see actors and see what that talent is... it wasn't me.
