The fact is Jerry Weintraub, the handsome, bearish movie producer, the man with the long career, who worked with Arthur Godfrey and Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra and George Clooney, is a great storyteller - he's this as much as he's anything else. He takes time telling stories, too.

As an actor, you're in the hands of producers and directors. It's important to find out who you're working with.

Whenever any actor comes into a producer session, they have so many questions, and we still can't really tell them that much until they get the job.

Honestly, I would not advise any actor necessarily, if he was really thinking of his career, to come out.

I've been on jobs where there's that one actor who is just a miserable, miserable no-good, dirty bastard, and it just turns the whole process sour.

Roles make the actor.

Studios have been trying to get rid of the actor for a long time and now they can do it. They got animation. NO more actor, although for now they still have to borrow a voice or two. Anyway, I find it abhorrent.

I don't want actors to be writers. I think it's too much responsibility.

It's a little daunting coming on to work with actors that you respect so much.

Any good production team is going to allow an actor to breathe life into the characters - that's why they hired that woman, that man, whatever the case.
