Ben Gazzara quotes
-
“You achieve because you're lucky to work with people who are very talented.”
-- Ben Gazzara -
“I love awards, especially if I get them. It's up to the courage of the filmmakers to make art in cinema, not just business. John was rejected by studios, he borrowed money and did movies with his own money. You're either courageous or not. You have to find a way.”
-- Ben Gazzara -
“some actors seek parts similar to their personalities. But, I prefer undergoing a metamorphosis that depends on the role .”
-- Ben Gazzara -
-
“Maybe for others it was difficult to find a role that suited my type. But I never thought of myself as a type. I really thought I could play anything, quite frankly. And I have. Especially in the theater, which is where I came from. And I may go back to soon, as a matter of fact. To Broadway.”

“You can do more of independent films. A Hollywood picture, you'll do one a year, one of those big blockbusters, right? Then you've gotta go to the gym to get in shape to do all of the running and shooting and diving and falling and hitting and all that stuff they do today.”

“I think cinema is better today that you can be more daring with what you do. If you do it well. With that comes a responsibility not to bore people with vulgarity and all that stuff. To know how to do it right, know how to lay it out there.”

“I hate just showing up, hitting a mark, doing your work, and going home. It's very boring. But being part of the creation of the whole thing is very exciting.”
