I played the Piccadilly Theater with "Gypsy" and also the Old Vic, and I've done other shows in London, but not for 40 years.

I can't say that I pursued a career. I really didn't, it just sort of happened.

I've worked with the greatest actors, and they're all gone. This is what's so desperate to me.

I honestly consider that the greatest gift to me, is the reaction that I get from my work. That is a given which I never, ever take for granted. But to be given that by audiences, individuals, on the street, in the theater, is an extraordinary feeling.

Psychologically, you learn the values that are inherent in the dialogue, and you learn to apply it to the way you read the lines. That's acting. You're not yourself saying those lines, you're somebody else.

Clint Eastwood is an extraordinary director because he knows the value of a buck. He knows where it will show on the screen.

Mystery is something that appeals to most everybody.
