Personal Quote:

As long as the director told me where to stand, and what to say, I was happy. Anyone who says there is more to it [acting] than that is full of bullshit. It's a job. It is a craft, but there's no art involved. What you need is common sense and a reasonably rough head. You put on the make-up and the wardrobe and that is half the performance... See more »
