When I was starting to get noticed as an actor in the 1970s for something other than the third cowboy on the right who ended up dying in every movie or episode, Burt Reynolds was the biggest star in the world.

The big reason why I became an actor in the first place was to communicate. I never acted in high school...I was desperate to communicate.

I tried to make the Olympics team in 1956

The difference between my generation of actors and their generation is that they were bigger than life. We are not bigger than life

I'm curious about what makes people do things that they do, unless it's absolutely terrifying to me.

If you are willing to expose your heart...being publicly private, you just may do something.

In Hitchcocks eyes the movement was dramatic, not the acting. When he wanted the audience to be moved, he moved the camera. He was a subtle human being, and he was also the best director I have ever worked with.
