Chekhov was as important to me as anybody as a writer.

You'll never be alone if you’ve got a book.

The only thing in this world that gives orders is balls.

It used to worry me what people said about me. I'm learning not to worry as much. Sometimes you feel critics are wrong all the time, but I don 't take objection to it, because that's the way it goes. They can be wrong, they can be right. They can be cruel, they can be kind.

I went back to the stage because it was my way of dealing with the success I had, my way of coping. It was a way of escaping the responsibilty of what was happening.

sometimes it's better to be with the devil u know than the angel u didn't know
