Essentially, I'm a small-part actor who's been lucky enough to play leading roles for most of his life.

My contribution to film has always been negligible.

An actor is totally vulnerable. His total personality is exposed to critical judgment - his intellect, his bearing, his diction, his whole appearance. In short, his ego.

That's no moon. It's a space station.

I never knew how good it is to be unknown until now. The last time I was unknown I was too busy trying to become known to realize the advantages of obscurity.

Failure has a thousand explanations. Success doesn't need one.

Young men make wars, and the virtues of war are the virtues of young men: courage, and hope for the future. Then old men make the peace, and the vices of peace are the vices of old men: mistrust and caution.
