I didn't mean Redford is not a good actor. On the contrary, I believe he is a very good one. But I think he's an excellent WASP good guy persona, if you know what I mean. And then Michael got to have those dark tragic eyes . The ones Alfred Pacino got. Or, in more recent years, Andy Garcia (one of my favorite actors) or Johnny Depp.

I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)
