Happy Birthday: Dabney Coleman

Dabney Coleman

Born: January 3, 1932 in Austin, Texas, USA

[on acting in lesser quality films and TV shows] Those things are just bad memories. They have no air from the day you walk onto the set from the day you leave. There’s no oxygen on the set. You can’t breathe. It’s just oppressive. It hurts to do things like that. And you do things like that to stay alive. To make a living.

[on why he never phones in a performance] That’s the way I do things. It’s the only way I know how to do it. it’s a competition thing. I compete with myself. I won’t let myself do less than I know I can do.
