I think the motion picture industry is a stupid business and I despise acting the scenes in short snatches, one at a time. I hate this film work. I am disgusted with myself. On the stage I could never play a part unless I felt it with all my heart and soul. ↗

Or certainly I would need time - which I would love to have but there almost never is on a film - to just spend a week with a roomful of guys laying down these patterns. ↗

Many times I've sat with a camera and another actor and seen all their fears and insecurities and struggles. You want to support them and help them as much as you can. ↗

Pitching... sometimes I did so poorly, it brought me to tears. ↗

I was still in school at the time and Cab was very popular and everybody was doing Cab Calloway so I did. ↗
