I Turned Down A Lot Of Films

Is It Possible To Do Something That That Makes An Audience Uncomfortable, Challenges Them, Makes Them See Things They're Not Used To? Here In These Films [salome The Play And Salomaybe], I Have The Opportunity To Say Something About How I Feel About Things.

The Problem With Me Is, I Guess, The Way I Express Myself, You Have To Be With Me 50 Years Before You Can Get A Sense Of What I'm Talking About.

I Like, For Instance, 'serpico.' I Enjoyed Playing Serpico Because Frank Serpico Was There. He Existed. He Was A Real Life Person And I Could - I Could Embody Him. I Could, You Know, I Could Work And Get To Know Him And Have Him Help Me With The Text, The Script And Become Him. It's Almost Like A Painter Having A Model To Become.

My Dad Was In The Army. World War Ii. He Got His College Education From The Army. After World War Ii He Became An Insurance Salesman. Really, I Didn't Know My Dad Very Well. He And My Mother Split Up After The War. I Was Raised By My Maternal Grandmother And Grandfather, And By My Mother.

I Found That Speaking Live To People, Young People, About What I Liked And What Had Been Happening To Me Was Very Good For Me. I Was Quite Overtaken By Success And Fame. I Was One Of Those Types Who Responded To It In A Negative Way. It Was Not Easy.
