Wisdom & Quotes

• We were brought up in the school that teaches: You do what the script tells you. Deliver the goods without coment. 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.
