Olivier was another case of a genius, who couldn't understand why anybody would have any trouble doing this, because for him it came so easily.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm better than Olivier.
If you watch Olivier's interviews, he has this reptilian tongue; it seems too big for his mouth. My pursuit of that became distracting, so I let it go. The thrill was finding the right pair of glasses.
Now, when I talk about Shakespeare, I can't talk too much about Gielgud or Olivier. Because nobody knows who I'm talking about.
Olivier said that drama is an affair of the heart, or it's nothing, and he was right.
I worked with Lawrence Olivier some years ago. He was a great mentor.
Acting is all about big hair and funny props... All the great actors knew it. Olivier knew it, Brando knew it.
It was a challenge, to work with Oliver Stone.
George Saunders is a complete genius.
To be able to rely completely on the actors was a very simple process for me.
Don't you understand how dramatic it is to be a comic? To be a fool, to get people to laugh at this show-off? Milton Berle could take Laurence Olivier and stick him under the table if he wanted to. And so could I.
