By giving up 'the need' and 'the want', things begin to happen for you

If you do things, whether it's acting or music or painting, do it without fear - that's my philosophy. Because nobody can arrest you and put you in jail if you paint badly, so there's nothing to lose.

I think the healthy way to live is to make friends with the beast inside oneself, and that means not the beast but the shadow. The dark side of one's nature. Have fun with it and you know, is to accept everything about ourselves.

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 remember coming to New York, in 1974 to do a play here called Equis. And I remember the first morning getting up and walking around the streets and I thought, "I'm home." I felt really at peace here.

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

My life turned out to be beyond my greatest dreams.
