What I do is based on powers we all have inside us; the ability to endure; the ability to love, to carry on, to make the best of what we have - and you don't have to be a 'Superman' to do it.

Success is finding satisfaction in giving a little more than you take.

It never occurred to me that I was a leading man until I was 19 years old. I had been acting since I was 10, so that's nine years and 30 or 40 plays, in school and summer stock, professional theater, too.

I have no bones to pick and no fight with society. And I'm willing to be and interested in being in the mainstream of society.

Either you vegetate and look out a window, or activate and try to effect change.

Having that college-town atmosphere with a live repertory company available was a real gift. I found myself gravitating toward the theater from about the age of nine. I guess it was the environment that got me started.

I don't have to prove anything to anyone. As a result, I am ready to take up again the characters who are closer to what I really am.
