My thing about looking good is that it should be the character. If I'm playing a character who's concerned about his body - an athlete, say - I'll get in shape. If I'm playing a character who doesn't or wouldn't, I don't. I almost never get in shape for a movie, even though I know it would be a good career move. ↗

I think a guy who's had just the right amount of booze can sing the blues a hell of a lot better than a guy who is stone sober. ↗
