A great screenplay is the most powerful bait in Hollywood.
I don't take characters home with me.
I've always been a people-watcher, and as an actor, later, I just mined all those little details.
I had no fear 'cause it seemed everyone in the audience always applauded whatever I did. Course, maybe it was because I always seemed to know everyone in the audience.
You don't forget the movies, but you forget the details of them.
It's a whole other way of working when you work in films: You know exactly the arc of your character.
