I became an actor by accident.

You do something on television, and so many people see it that it follows you around. It's interesting. I've done a couple of things on TV, and probably more people saw me than in all the movies I've made.

Onstage I have a natural chutzpa that audiences like. I'm out there.

Everybody has to be a little lucky, I think.

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.

Is typecasting really a problem?

I try not to worry about things I can't do anything about.
