Everything I did actually helped to build the revenue, shall we say, of experience, which enabled me to play a variety of roles as I got older.

The theater is magical and addictive.

Roles came to me. I was very, very lucky in that respect. Great directors, great writers, great producers - they saw something in me that they wanted for their picture or their play or whatever it was, whether it was Edward Albee or whether it was - or Peter Hall, directors. They would come to me, thank God. I was lucky. Lucky, lucky, lucky.

A sitcom. I hate that word.

Actually the years when I was playing totally un - well, they were just roles that just went by the board, you wouldn't want to know. But anyway, I'm glad I had that chance to build my craft.

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

My memory about names and places now is dreadful. But lines, I can remember.
