I can't count how many of my friends are in the cemetery at Normandy, the heroes are still there, the real heroes.

There are many secrets in us, in the depths of our souls, that we don't want anyone to know about.

I never turned down anything and never argued with any producer or director.

Acting is ephemeral. You can't hang it on a wall. You can't throw it off. And you can't bring it out of a closet. It's there one night and it's gone the next, at least with stage acting anyhow.

There's no nobility with war. It's tear-'em-up destruction that leaves you frustrated, bitter and angry... If you really knew what it was like for an hour, you wouldn't want anyone to go through it.

You're out there on a high wire without a net, and that's the way actors operate. They have to be fearless about how they work and they have to create a life for the audience in 90 minutes and make them believe.

I think I've done 200 plays and 125 movies, so I've been very lucky to have made a living at acting.
