I don't seem to fit really into the 20th Century

I have played some of the great men in history and I believe in the great man who does heroic deeds, even in these egalitarian times.

In terms of pure physical effort, today was probably as hard as I've worked in any part. I spent the morning rowing, including the change of speeds Arrius [the Roman commander] test Judah with. A real bone-breaker.

I've been a public person for most of my life. It has advantages and disadvantages. I can't take my kids to Disneyland. On the other hand, I can get a table at a restaurant or tickets to a play.

You could think of extraordinary examples to the contrary: The Grapes of Wrath... and even into the 70s.

The Internet is for lonely people. People should live.

My dissatisfaction with television as a medium has nothing to do with the audience or the fact that you don't require as much time to do it as you do a movie, but with its technical limitations.
