In the theatre, people talk. Talk, talk until the cows come home about journeys of discovery and about what Hazlitt thought of a line of Shakespeare. I can't stand it.

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."

You still wake up sometimes. You wake up in the dark and hear the screaming of the lambs.

I've played a lot of parts. But I don't look at my feeling is that this is a job. It's given me a good living.

I was born in the same town as Richard Burton, the actor, and I saw him, he used to come - he and his wife drove by in the car in my father's shop and Burton would come home from Hollywood and ask him for his autograph, and I thought, I want to be like him. And that's all I said to myself, I want to be like that. I want to get out of this environment of my own empty mind.

People don't always tell you what they are thinking. They just see to it that you don't advance in life.

I’m not young anymore. I don’t wanna start over again.
