James Cagney: Top of the World (1992 TV Movie)

Jack Lemmon: Self - Actor

Quotes 

• Self - Actor : [Jack Lemmon on Cagney]  I love acting. That was not true of Jimmy. Acting was a blessing to Jimmy because it gave him the income and the ability to pursue other interests. He loved to write. He loved to paint. He was nuts about horses, as we know. And he could live the life that he wanted to with other interests - because of the acting.

• Self - Actor : [Jack Lemmon on Cagney on the set of "Mister Roberts"]  We talked about everything under the sun. One of the crew members wasn't asking him about acting and Jimmy said, "You make it so complicated." He said, "Look, learn your lines. Plant your feet. Look the other actor in the eye. And say the words. But, mean them."
