Many who wave American flags also practice discrimination on the basis of race. Many who wave American flags practice anti-Semitism. We think that betrays the fundamental ideals of our democracy.

I pretend I’m the producer and I think, “If I was making this movie, would I cast myself in this part?,” and if that doesn’t feel right to me, then I don’t even go audition for it.

I think it would be lovely to see some features on a disc of ‘The Rocketeer,’ with some reminiscing. I think that would be dynamite.

Lovely Reminiscing Thinking

I tend to get comfortable with the dialogue and find out who the person is in the script and try to hit that. People are sort of independent of their occupations and their pastimes. You don’t play a politician or a fireman or a cowboy – you just play a person.

I don’t have time to overthink things, and I don’t have time to get bogged down in stuff. I’m not sitting there thinking for a week and a half, before I’m supposed to go in front of a network president to do something. That just gives you time to be nervous.

I would make a horrible politician, because I wouldn’t enjoy my work.

The first trip I remember taking was on the train from Virginia up to New York City, watching the summertime countryside rolling past the window. They used white linen tablecloths in the dining car in those days, and real silver.

I sailed a bit as a child, but it wasn’t until I was around 40, when I was halfway through Patrick O’Brian’s ‘Master and Commander’ novels, that I had the sudden epiphany that I had to go sail on a square-rig ship.
