Kristen Aldridge: You’ve won an Oscar and two Golden Globes, you’ve done so many incredible films…what is it like to achieve such success as an actor?
Jon Voight: Well you know it’s an interesting thing. Every once in a while I look back and say, I haven’t done too badly, and then I say I did that, and that one too…not bad! But it’s my work and if you live long enough you accumulate a large body of work. I’m still very interested in what’s going on next in the world and how you make a contribution to it by my work in film.
Kristen Aldridge: You certainly know how to pick powerful projects, what do you look for in a script?
Jon Voight: It’s really a combination of many things, but for me, I like to do films that have some relevance, that maybe are needed. I read a script and I think, well this is a nice thing to say, or this is maybe important to say, or right now I think we need something like this. You always need laughter and you always need love, so those are 2 perrenials. In the drama area, you always think if there is something worth telling in this tale.
