People think that my favorite roles to do are villains, but I find comedy to be the most challenging and rewarding.

Bear suits are funny - and bears as well.

My father was a lesson. He had his own bakery, and it was closed one day a week, but he would go anyway. He did it because he really loved his bakery. It wasn't a job.

My life is really quite conservative. I've been married nearly 50 years. I don't have hobbies or children. I don't much care to travel. I've never had a big social life. I really just stay home, except when I go to work.

I don't need to be made to look evil. I can do that on my own.

People come up to me all the time in New York. Not for autographs, but to talk about movies, often in a very scientific way.

In the theater you rehearse in order to do the performance. And in the movies the rehearsal and the performance are kind of the same thing. You're figuring it out and hopefully the camera is pointed at you when you're doing it.
