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.

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

If I had my druthers, I would do only stage work.

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

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.

I was born looking older... and I've been aging since I was a teenager.

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