“I'm not known as a singer, but in life I like to do things that are a bit beyond my reach to keep myself from slipping. I find that technology has made it so that we don't need to have a memory system, and as I get older I want to do things that challenge me. What could be more challenging than doing this show with a knee that's been replaced, after tearing my Achilles heel with a baker's cyst on the back of my knee? And then I have to try and dance!” WantNeedsTryingMadeShowsBitsChallengesMemoriesKnownTechnologySingersMade ItKneesHeelsReplacedSlippingAchillesBakersAchilles Heel Author:George Hamilton
“At MGM there was a script cage in the basement where they’d show rushes. And I thought to myself, “How do I get into the script cage and find out what my future is?” I climbed into the script cage one night and spent the whole night in there. I saw the bowels of MGM. I saw the studio scripts that the producers had seen; the writers had just handed them in. And I started thinking this is a chance to pick my own roles.” ThinkingWholeShowsNightChanceMy OwnRolesSawsPicksScriptsStudiosProducersCagesOne NightMy FutureBasementsBowelsMgm Author:George Hamilton

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.” WayTryingBelieveCharacterShowsGuySpeakRolesStonesFilmmakerVisuals Author:George Hamilton
