I love going to the movies; I love watching good movie actors. They must know something I don't.
Michael Caine is a movie star, but he's also a great actor. I can't say that about every movie star. It's the concentration he has.
There's nobody who loves being around actors working more than David Mamet, especially actors bringing his tremendous dialogue to life. I've never seen a movie director who was happier to be directing a movie than Dave.
See, the thing that bothers me with young actors, young actors of color specifically, is that they see movies and television, and they figure that's all it is to it. They have no respect for the craft. They want to be, you know, movie stars or whatev...
