I buried myself so much in the classics that I felt, "Well now, I've played all the big parts, whether badly or goodly, I don't give a damn, but at least I've played them all. Now, let's start again. Let's start the whole career again." And it makes you feel like you're beginning again, it really does.

Sometimes you have to look into a mirror and look at the worst you could have been if you're ever going to know the best you were meant to be.

You're only two years older than me, darling. Where have you been all my life?

I rather like the idea of defying death.

Try and stay sober. Until the curtain call. And for God's sake, have fun. Don't suffer for your art. Just have fun.

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

I just can't tell you what fun I've had being a member of the world's second oldest profession.
