George Hamilton Character Quotations

Woody [Allen] is a fascinating character to be around. You don't really know what he's going to want. You're on your toes, but you're on your heels too, if you know what I mean.

John Milius and Francis Ford Coppola and Oliver Stone - those guys are consummate filmmakers. They believe that you don't talk it, you show it. So when I find a role now, I try to find a visual way to tell what the character is about rather than trying to speak about it.

One day when I was working on a movie, I stayed at the beach a little too long, and they said, "You are going to ruin a whole day of shooting because you're so dark. Two days ago you weren't like this!"So I started putting that in the character; I made him suntanned all the time.

There's so many characters they [studios] are not letting me play. And I thought, "Why don't you just go produce it yourself?".

I found a movie called "Light in the Piazza." I finally made the movie with Olivia de Havilland and myself, but initially there was no way I could make that movie, so I went to work on becoming that character. They told me they had an Italian [actor], and I said, "That's a Cuban boy!" His name was Tomas Milan. I thought that's the craziest thing I'd ever heard: They have a Cuban who's going to play an Italian, and I can't play it because I'm an American.
