I would rather do a play because it's instantaneous. You go on the stage, and you know whether it's happening or not. Somebody asked me 'What is acting?' And I said, 'Acting is listening.' And if you ain't listening, nobody's listening.

You make the money in movies and TV so you can do theater. I do a play a year... somewhere.

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

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

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

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.

Dancing came easy for me. Acting came hard.
