The stuff that I got in trouble for, the casting for The Godfather or the flag scene in Patton, was the stuff that was remembered, and was considered the good work.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What I remember myself from films, and what I love about films, is specific scenes and characters.
I just want to make sure I'm contributing good films to movie history rather than being famous just to be famous.
The great privilege it has been to work with some of the most talented people on the face of the earth. My first scene in a movie was with James Cagney, for goodness sakes. There I was, just out of the U.S. Navy without an acting lesson to my name.
Being a little bit of a movie buff, the fact that I'm working in the middle of movie history is incredible.
The part I like best was my role in 'Blood and Sand.' If I had died, I would have liked to be remembered as an actor by that role - I think it my greatest.
I've done a lot of films that have become iconic, not necessarily because of me.
I think early in my career, I didn't choose films that were crappy films, necessarily, but I didn't go out and campaign for smaller, better roles.
Most of the films that I've ever really responded to are ones that I feel were really involved in their times.
It's very good for me to remember what actors go through.
There was a time when all that mattered was that you were in a good movie.
