“The most dangerous thing
for an actor is to refuse to listen to anyone else, to feel
you know more than anybody.”
“Love? It’s over exaggerated. There are many
forms of love, of course, like love for a child or a parent,
love for dogs or plants or fried chicken. I love loving,
but being in love with someone has been too romanticized.
People have come to expect much more of it than there really
is.”
“Fright is one of the worst things in the world.
I’ve been plenty frightened at times, like when I
was in an automobile accident, a head-on collision. I remember
I was so frightened my hands wouldn’t work. A terrible
feeling, like a disease you can’t control. I don’t
like things I can’t control.”
“I have no philosophy about acting or anything else.
You just do it. And I mean that. You just do it. However,
I can say that with ease after thirty-five years. You go
to a newcomer and say “just do it,” and it
doesn’t mean dits, does it? You’ve got to do
the big circle to come back and be able to say “You
just do it.”
“Someone asked me once what my philosophy of life
was, and I said some crazy thing. I should have said, how
the hell do I know?”
"I am not happy that I am
sick. I am not happy that I have AIDS. But if that is helping
others,
I can at least know my own misfortune has had some positive
worth."
"Why don’t you put that in the headline: ‘He Only Did Three With Doris!’ Set
a lot of people straight."
"I’m notorious for giving a bad interview. I’m an actor and I can’t help
but feel I’m boring when I’m on as myself."
"I had to overcome the name Rock. If I'd been as hip then as I am now, I
would have never consented to be named Rock."
"I like to work with new actors; it’s sort of a little game I have with
myself. I love to watch them, to see what they do, what they come up with, if
they’re
inventive. Their ideas may not work all the time, but it’s important that they
have something more than an ability to memorize lines."
"As you get older, you learn to keep your mouth shut more, because you never
know how badly you’re going to embarrass yourself later."
