We all have many more abilities and internal resources than we know. My advice is that you don't need to break your neck to find out about them.

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

Don't give up. Don't lose hope. Don't sell out.

I remember telling a neurosurgeon, "Don't give me too much information, because at the moment my ignorance is my best asset."

To be able to feel the lightest touch really is a gift.

I did my first apprenticeship when I was 15, then joined the union when I was 17. I worked every summer in high school and college.
