Hackman is able to live in the moment which means there is nothing for him at that split second than what is occurring in the scene. ↗

I criticize those critics. The reason being that they're doing one of the worst things that ever can be done to an actor, which is to say, Look, you do what we like you to do or else. ↗

If I were to ask you for example right now to go back with me and define those moments in your life that shaped you as a person and you began to reexamine them, something would happen. ↗
