"I eat better, I walk better, I live better because I'm emotional. It's my business, that's my job. Being myself and trying to examine acting through the medium of acting in front of another person, or thousands of persons, or millions of persons on the screen. I mean, I'm a ham, I'm an actor, if you were seating there and your voice was on tape and nobody was in the studio except a cat, I'd be wondering if the cat's paying attention to me. That's how childish and hammy I am. I am what's called "an actor", God knows what that is. It's a kaleidoscope of impulses, and fears and terrors and joys that no-one has ever figured out, but that is also the definition of a human being!" (Rod Steiger)
