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.

The bigger the canvas, the better I do. I'm not so good at understated, kitchen-sink kinds of parts.

You can do anything you think you can.

The character is a piece of fiction. You are yourself, however, and that makes you interesting, because you're alive and you're a human being.

I get pretty impatient with people who are able-bodied but are somehow paralyzed for other reasons.

If I can laugh, I can live.

I'm not living the life I thought I would lead, but it does have meaning, purpose. There is love... there is joy... there is laughter.
