Jan 23, 2013 — Dustin Hoffman joined Fresh Air Host Terry Gross to talk aging, guns, his long movie career and his directorial debut with the new movie Quartet. While the rest of LA was just waking up, Dustin Hoffman took a moment after his 7:15 a.m. interview to show off his love for NPR.Dustin Hoffman just directed his first movie, Quartet, about a retirement home for opera singers and musicians.
The actor told Fresh Air Host Terry Gross about the experience - working with an entire cast over the age of 70, and translating real-life feelings about aging onto the silver screen. He also talked about his long career in film, receiving a Kennedy Center award and all the reasons he won't hold a gun on film (anymore).
