If my accent betrayed my foreign birth, it also stamped me as an enemy, in the imagination of the producers.

I've been using narcotics for 20 years.

That is different, to have someone think that I am evil when I really am not.

Of all the roles I've done on the stage, I'm partial to Cyrano de Bergerac.

I'll take any story if it's good.

I enjoy my work. I haven't been an actor for 30 years without getting pleasure out of the profession.

I have played Dracula a thousand times on stage and I find I have become thoroughly settled in the technique of the stage and not of the screen.
