I believe in one day at a time; you've got TODAY, that's what you' ve got.

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.

Sometimes what we imagine and the world aren't different things. Sometimes they are the same exact thing.

The interesting thing about this is I don't know what my vision [ in Salome the play and Salomaybe] is yet about. I'm sensing something and I'm going along with it. It reminds me of a painting, the way Jackson Pollack painted - Jackson Pollack, the great, great artist.

I wouldn't be interested in [nowadays] television simply because I think it goes too fast. Except if something was maybe a play on television or some great television script.

There has been a lot of self-doubt and unwelcome events in my life.

A lot of actors choose parts by the scripts, but I don't trust reading the scripts that much. I try to get some friends together and read a script aloud. Sometimes I read scripts and record them and play them back to see if there's a movie. It's very evocative; it's like a first cut because you hear 'She walked to the door,' and you visualize all these things. 'She opens the door' . . . because you read the stage directions, too.
