One of the difficult things about being an actor is to stick around.

Obviously an actor draws on his own experience.

In rehearsal you have a good accident that you can repeat.In the movies if you have a good accident you hope the camera's running.

I think the fact that I was raised in show business, in New York City, in the '50s, that's affected my personality to the point that I'm a little different.

I have boxes full of stuff. Most actors do have a trunk full of stuff, paintings or scripts. It never comes to anything.

I've made a couple of movies in the jungle, and I don't want to go back to the jungle.

I think that a good movie creates its own world, and that world needn't refer to anything that's real. If it's consistent, if it's entertaining, if it's interesting, it justifies its being there.
