Certainly the movies were always in the air for me. I come from the era when actors thought it was a big deal to be in the movies.

Actors are always outsiders. It's necessary to be able to interpret - and that gets distorted when you become famous.

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

I like, for instance, 'Serpico.' I enjoyed playing Serpico because Frank Serpico was there. He existed. He was a real life person and I could - I could embody him. I could, you know, I could work and get to know him and have him help me with the text, the script and become him. It's almost like a painter having a model to become.

That's the way to live - around people who care. It may be a tough ride, but something is going to come out of it.

Women have always had equal importance onstage, and working with them must have altered my sensibilities. I've never felt sensitive to the whole issue, because being macho has never been a problem with me.

On any given Sunday you're gonna win or you're gonna lose. The point is -- can you win or lose like a man?
