The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today.
Everyone I've worked with has been good. You learn from the good, what's good, and you learn from the bad what not to do.
I regret not doing a film that I was offered with Clark Gable because the script was not good enough.
Eddie Adams: [to his mother] You don't know what I can do! You don't know what I can do, what I'm gonna do, or what I'm gonna be! I'm good! I have good things and you don't know about! I'm gonna be something! I am! And don't fucking tell me I'm not!
Dirk: You don't know what I can do! You don't know what I can do, what I'm gonna do, or what I'm gonna be! I'm good! I have good things and you don't know about! I'm gonna be something! I am! And don't fucking tell me I'm not!
