Zitat des Tages von Ed Asner:
I regard myself as a beautiful musical instrument, and my role is to contribute that instrument to scripts worthy of it.
They're sheep. They like Bush enough to credit him with saving the nation after 9/11. Three thousand people get killed, and everybody thinks they're next on the list. The president comes along, and he's got his six-guns strapped on, and people think he's going to save them.
When I was working my way up, it seemed to me that only Westerns and 'Star Treks' or sci-fi movies could afford to get away with presenting the problems - like prejudice and desegregation, for instance - that we face in our everyday lives.
I pray that this council, which will probably be too late to save Iraq, will do what it can, which will be immeasurably strong in what it does in trying to save our democracy.
Raising kids is part joy and part guerrilla warfare.
I don't know who made the Earth. I woke up one morning, and it's here. I make the best of it.
In a way, 'WALL-E' had some of the same disturbing elements that 'Up' does.
I've never stopped loving cartoons. I loved cartoons as a kid. I can still look at them and enjoy them.
Always keep yourself engaged, in theater, in whatever job you can get.
I am not a method actor, though I studied for a year with Lee Strasburg.
Never thought acting was something you could make a living at. It wasn't until I was in college, and got a lead in a play, that I began to realize I might just be able to blunder into this profession.
To my knowledge, there is no blacklist. But there is a mindset, even among liberal producers, that says 'He may be difficult, so let's avoid him.'
I went into acting as psychotherapy, and it's still a work in progress.
I love acting.
