Quote
1
The military is probably the best school in the world for an actor. You have to sublimate your own personality and become something else. I'm good at that.
2
A great number of the war films I saw, however, didn't match my own experience... The uniforms were pressed, the guys were clean, and they reacted in such a heroic fashion to life in extremes. No matter what Sir Laurence Olivier had to say, it isn't just acting when something is so out of your frame of reference. You have to have an idea of what the truth is. Nobody did.
