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

How you prepare for a role is entirely your business in my point of view. There is little enough mystery anymore left in the world in the part of our profession, which should be clouded in mystery because it isn't in the public. You don't want the magician to show his tricks or how he did them do you? So I do think that is a very private thing that we actors should protect ourselves from.

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

I've been very fortunateit's just been an amazing piece of luck. I haven't had to suffer for my art but I've suffered enough inside to hopefully be called an artist.

Here is Mike Wallace, who is visible to the public, and I have been watching him since the early '50s. Smoking up a storm and insulting his guests and being absolutely wonderfully evil and charming too.

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

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