I may be getting old, but not foolish.

I wouldn't go up on a stage now if you paid a thousand dollars for one minute of acting. It's a nasty experience. You're up there all by yourself. You're so damn exposed.

I'm small, but I'm neither compliant nor agreeable.

I spoke without fear of contradiction. I simply did not suffer self-doubt.

Wonder is our need today, not information.

I used to spend most of my time straining to be a nice guy so people would like me.

The first thing you should do with an actor is not sign a contract with him. Take him to dinner. And take him for a walk afterwards.
