I’m not a method actor because it refers to a certain kind or technique of acting that I have studied about, and I know I’m not one of them.

All kids studied music automatically, just as they did maths or languages or sport.
I studied chemical engineering. I was a good student, but these were the hard times of the depression, my scholarship came to an end, and it was necessary to work to supplement the family income.
