'Lawrence of Arabia' is a film that anyone wanting to become an actor should watch at least six hundred times.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Lawrence of Arabia is the ultimate movie, deeply cinematic.
I love 'Lawrence of Arabia,' big sweeping films. I want my films to feel that way, to be on a big canvas.
There's enough of a willingness in the West to do sympathetic movies about Arab roles.
I love to look at The Graduate, or Lawrence of Arabia, or things I had nothing to do with. But you could not get me to go back and watch movies that it was a privilege just to be around them when they were being made.
Like so many Boomers, I saw 'Lawrence of Arabia' in 1962 when it was first released and when we were young teenagers. I'm not quite sure why - I really wish some psychologist would explain this - but that movie had a tremendous effect on many of us.
When I staged the play and narrated my story to the audience, people found it amazing that after facing so many hardships, I have gone on to do 482 films.
As an Asian actor, I would like once in my life to do just one Hollywood movie. It would be a memorable experience.
Most people don't watch a movie four or five times; they watch it once.
A film set is really delicate and people treat you very very well if you're an actor because they want you to be as comfortable as possible for you to do your work, but it really is just one in a team of many and usually 150 people.
I mean, it was a mummy movie. It was a good film independent of its source. It that looks like Lawrence of Arabia on steroids in a lot of ways.
