You never open your mouth until you know what the shot is.

The problem with me is, I guess, the way I express myself, you have to be with me 50 years before you can get a sense of what I'm talking about.

Be careful how you judge people, most of all friends. You don't sum up a man's life in one moment.

One of the things that made me want to be an actor more than ever was seeing a Chekhov play, "The Sea Gull," when was 14 in the Bronx.

The actor becomes an emotional athlete.

I've often said there's two kinds of actors. There's a more gregarious type and the shy type.

There is no happiness. There is only concentration.
