I don't want death to suddenly interrupt what I'm doing. I don't like the idea of death at all.

In Stratford you either turn into an alcoholic or you better write.

I want to paint Montreal as a rather fantastic city, which it was, because nobody knows today what it was like. And I'm one of the last survivors, or rapidly becoming one.

I rather like the idea of defying death.

The first time my father saw me in the flesh was on the stage, which is a bit weird. We went out to dinner, and he was charming and sweet, but I did all the talking.

I couldn't believe when I first got a fan letter from Al Pacino, it was unreal.

I would rather not know about how one gets parts in movies these days.
