Throughout My Life I Have Cared As

An Actor Is Supposed To Emulate Life. Instead, Alas, Many Are Imitating Other Actors. You Don't Fashion Your Knowledge Of Theatre Or Your Approach To A Role On The Basis Of What Other Actors Have Done. This Kind Of Thinking Is A Great Danger, Especially In Dealing With Tv Producers Who Frequently Say Things Like, 'this Is A Sean Connery Type.'

I Have Always Striven To Raise The Voice Of Hope For A World Where Hate Gives Way To Respect And Oppression To Liberation.

I Am First, And Foremost, An Actor. That's What I Am. To Me, A Song Is A Mini-drama. My Musical Ability Informs The Actor As Well Because It Gives Me A Sense Of Timing That Non-musicians Don't Have. So, One Hand Washes The Other.

John Huston Was The Kind Of Director That Totally Left You Alone. Not Every Actor Always Does It Right, Every Time, But Most Of The Time He Was Re-directing Someone. He Was Making Tight Adjustments, And Not Even In Terms Of Interpretation Because He Knew That By The Time That The Character Had Been Filmed... Well, He Got It Right When He Cast You.

In My Mind The City Of Ariel Is A Thorn In Israel's Side And A Serious Obstacle To Peace.
