Jack Betts quotes
- [Talking about filming "Spider-Man" with Sam Raimi] Willem Dafoe and
Tobey Maguire were great to work with, and so was Sam Raimi. What a
gentleman - always there for you, and so helpful. I wanted to be in
"Spider-Man 2" even though I was killed in the first one. I called Sam
and said, "I'll dye my hair, I'll wear a wig - I'll even wear a dress.
I would love to work with you again." He was so kind, but he said he
couldn't bring back my character, Mr. Balkan, because he had died on
screen. So that was that, but it was great to work with him.
- [Explaining the longevity of his career] Passion and ambition. I
remember when I was 10 years old, my mother took me to see "Wuthering
Heights", and I saw Laurence Olivier on the screen. And I said to
myself, "I will never do anything else in my life but that. I want to
be an actor." That film changed my life as well.
