When I look back on my life, I don't have regrets about what I didn't do. If I'd become a musician, it could have ruined my life.

We don't even know who's in the Academy.

I just don't want to copy the current trends or do movies for teenagers. I want people to get more out of movies.

You have to teach yourself to act but Michael Chekhov will give you the necessary tools - and for me, Psychological Gesture and Centers are extremely valuable They work like a charm. I've used them all along and still do.

With people in high office, the old - you go into the extreme, which is absolute power and absolute power corrupts.

If the director's a communist, whatever, he's a communist. All I care is that he directs. For the actor, the same thing. All you really care is that he comes in and performs.

I'm a great supporter of transcendental meditation. I've been using it for almost 40 years now - and I think it's a great tool for anyone to have, to be able to utilize as a tool for stress. Stress, of course, comes with almost every business. I think there are enough studies out there that show that TM is something that could benefit anybody. It's a great system to use. Otherwise, why would I've been doing it for all these years, for almost half of my life?
