If you look at Buster Keaton or Douglas Fairbanks movies, what still amazes you today is their physical ability. The only special effects that never grow old are what you can do with the human body.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Being physical and doing my own stunts - it is fun to do these kind of films once in a while, especially before you get too old.
Special effects movies have taken over the universe. That and scary movies.
Young actors are pretty fantastic. I can't even imagine doing stuff like that when I was a kid.
I'd like to act in a film without special effects.
My mom is in her mid-60s and has more energy and is more youthful than any human being I know. It's pretty incredible.
The main fear about growing old as an actor is not losing the looks. I never had any to speak of, and what I had I've still got, but losing the memory is another matter.
I made my first film when I was 35, so I firmly believe that you don't have to be one thing in life. If you're doing something, and you have a desire to do something different, give it a try.
Aging on camera is just very hard. I love my age. I feel good about myself but high definition television is not kind. You don't even look like yourself in high-def. It just makes every little line on your face more exaggerated so it ends up aging you. It's like you're watching yourself seven years older.
The action movies changed radically when it became possible to Velcro your muscles on. It was the beginning of a new era. The visual took over. The special effects became more important than the single person. That was the beginning of the end.
Movies make you immortal and ageless.
