Zitat des Tages von Norman Lloyd:
I have never had a better working experience than 'St. Elsewhere.' It's a supreme show.
I think Obama is going to go down as one of our greatest presidents because what this guy has done and has tried to do, and over the kind of opposition that I don't know if Lincoln had, except he had to go to war. This speaks so brilliantly of Obama and the way he conducts himself. I think he is already one of our greatest presidents.
The writing was vastly superior to almost anything that was on the air. It's one of the great shows. It was an important show... 'St. Elsewhere' was one of the great shows in the history of television.
As far as 'St. Elsewhere' goes, I just loved that show.
Karl Malden! A dear, dear, dear friend. I loved Karl. He was great.
Renoir had a strong feeling about his fellow soldiers. He'd never disrespect them by putting the war down.
I'm a pure spirit, ha ha ha!
I imagine I was supposed to become a lawyer or something. But this was the Depression; the lawyers I saw were all driving cabs. So I thought, 'Well, if I'm going to be badly off anyway, I might as well be badly off in the theater, where you get used to it.'
Truly great performers reveal not only their characters but bring everything they know about the world with them. It's not just what's in the script but the story of everything you've done and of who you are. If you're Chaplin, you're the immigrant. No matter what he's doing, he's always the little guy trying to make his place in the world.
I loved 'Modern Family!' It was sort of the precursor to 'Trainwreck,' to that character. But I loved it. I had a great time doing it.
Peter Weir is remarkable. He can do anything.
When I think back on it, it's amazing what happens to us as we move out into the world.
There's a conflict between what's in your mind and what's in your body.
I don't eat shellfish. I drink wine moderately and have one whiskey every evening before dinner.
We in New York were very poor in the depths of the Depression - but I must say, that was the best time of my life.
An actor can grow stale in a bad part. Actors grow stale, generally, because there's no demand on them.
People get ideas of how to live or not to live from what you do on television.
You know I've never worked without a script before, but with Apatow, it's all improvisation. He calls out a premise, and you have to adapt.
Connie Bennett, the guys used to stake her, she was so good.
You must be active; you must be positive, even if things don't go the way you want them to.
