"I don't have an ego when I get the work. If I'm playing a doctor I want you to see a doctor. I don't want you to see an Emmet Walsh doctor and that's I think been the confusion with my career. People know my work, but they don't know who I am. I've always had fun hiding in the character."

(Michael Emmet Walsh, attore; Ogdensburg, 22 marzo 1935 – St. Albans, 19 marzo 2024)
