The Literal, Basic Thing Of The Stage

We're Charlatans In A Way, We're Magic People. Part Of The Behind The Scenes Stuff Is To Loosen You Up, To Make You Feel That You Are Experiencing This. This Is My Style, I Did It In Looking For Richard, Too. And I Figure, If I Can Weave It Into The Actual Play And Get The Audience Interested, Like The Robes Going Up And Down, They'll Pay Attention Long Enough To Consume It.

That's The Way To Live - Around People Who Care. It May Be A Tough Ride, But Something Is Going To Come Out Of It.

When I Was Doing 'scarface,' I Remember Being In Love At That Time. One Of The Few Times In My Life. And I Was So Glad It Was At That Time. I Would Come Home And She Would Tell Me About Her Life That Day And All Her Problems And I Remember Saying To Her, Look, You Really Got Me Through This Picture Because I Would Shed Everything When I Came Home.

Francis Ford Coppola Did This Early On. You Tape A Movie, Like A Radio Show, And You Have The Narrator Read All The Stage Directions. And Then You Go Back Like A Few Days Later And Then You Listen To The Movie. And It Sort Of Plays In Your Mind Like A Film, Like A First Rough Cut Of A Movie.

Women Have Always Had Equal Importance Onstage, And Working With Them Must Have Altered My Sensibilities. I've Never Felt Sensitive To The Whole Issue, Because Being Macho Has Never Been A Problem With Me.
