Love Fattens On Smooth Words.

The Only Time I Am Ever Miserable Is When I Do Something Just For The Money.

We Were Brought Up In The School That Teaches: You Do What The Script Tells You. Deliver The Goods Without Comment. Live It-do It-or Shut Up. After All, The Writer Is What's Important. If The Script Is Good And You Don't Get In Its Way, It Will Come Off Okay. I Never Discussed A Script With Spence [spencer Tracy]; We Just Did It. The Same With Hank [henry Fonda] In On Golden Pond. Naturally And Unconsciously We Joined Into What I Call A Musical Necessity-the Chemistry That Brings Out The Essence Of The Characters And The Work.

You Can't Just Be Talented: You Have To Be Terribly Smart And Energetic And Ruthless. You Also Have To Become Necessary To People, By Working Hard And Well And Bringing More Than Your Bones And Your Skin To The Project. Don't Just Show Up. Transform The Work, Yourself, And Everybody Around You. Be Needed. Be Interesting. Be Something No One Else Can Be--and Consistently.

Without Discipline, There's No Life At All.

I Think Everyone Is An Opportunist If They Have An Opportunity.
