When I was a young actor... the more different you were from the part you played, the more talent it reflected.

Men hand out cigars. Women `hand out' babies. And thus the world, for thousands of years, has gone round.

I believe that the first 8 years are most important and the time in a child's life when parents must be absolutely and completely present.

I write from the same place I parent, and since becoming a single parent, I have found it difficult, if not impossible, to write anything of length.

Generally speaking, actors are allowed NO input. Actors are dumb.

I loved sitting on my veranda sipping quality scotch, puffing a Cuban cigar and watching Cuba on the horizon, or the oceanic vista. Did this late in the evenings many times.

Life without kids is like a camera without film.
