A kiss is a lusty dollop of dessert to be served with desire and savored with passion.

I don't think actors should ever expect to get a role, because the disappointment is too great. You've got to think of things as an opportunity. An audition's an opportunity to have an audience.

You need some insecurity if you're an actor. It keeps the pot boiling. I haven't yet started to think about retiring. I was shocked when I heard about Paul Newman retiring at age 82. Most actors just fade away like old soldiers.

Vanity: my favorite sin.

Everything changes with age. The parts change with age, your feelings about them change, roles that I would've wanted to play 10 years ago, I don't want to play now.

It would be hard to play a character you don't like - for me anyway - or can't find something in them to like.

I'm constantly striving to break through to something new. You try to maintain a neutral approach to your work, and not be too hard on yourself.
