I think doubt is a very healthy way to live.

Working with Katherine Hepburn, she said to me, "Don't act." She said, "Read the lines. Just be. Just speak the lines." I said, "Okay." She said, "You look good. You got a good pair of shoulders, you got a good head, good face."

My life is not my own business.

I spent two years in the military service, then I trudged around in repertory for quite a while. I somehow wound up at the National Theatre, though, and then I was definitely on my way.

I am young! Being creative and keeping your brain occupied is very sensible because if you don't you die, slowly.

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

I don't mind being a commodity. It's given me a good life.
