Acting is a creative process, and directing and music. I think creative people - and I take myself as a creative person and it doesn't mean you have to be an actor, a musician, or a painter - but I think if you are in a creative profession or a creative business you do have a heightened awareness.

The art of acting is not to act. Once you show them more, what you show them, in fact is bad acting.

I look in the mirror and I see the lines, but I don't care. It's a good time. I don't know why it's such a good time, but it's a good time.

I've got no need to prove to myself that I can do Shakespeare. I've done it.

My life turned out to be beyond my greatest dreams.

Acting's entertainment. It's not brain surgery.

I'm having a great life. And I'm 73 and they still phone me up and ask me to do a job here and there.
