(on Spencer Tracy) What an actor should be is exemplified, for me, by him. I like the reality of his acting. It`s so honest and seems so effortless, even though what Tracy does is the result of damn hard work and extreme concentration. Actually, the ultimate in any art is never to show the wheels grinding. The essence of bad acting, for example, is shouting. Tracy never shouts. He`s the greatest movie actor there ever was.
