The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.

There's still so much more to do. I can't sit back and be complacent, and none of us should be. I get around now in a wheelchair, but I get around.

I've always preferred animals to little girls or boys. I had my first horse - actually it was a Newfoundland pony - when I was three, and I loved riding, without anyone shackling me - riding bareback as fast as I could.

You are who you are. All you can do in this world is help others to be who they are and better themselves.

To me, acting is a matter of absolute concentration. You can laugh and giggle with your friends up to the minute the director says, "Action!" Then you snap your mind into shape and into the character that you're playing and relate to the people that you're acting with and forget everybody else that you've been joking with.

So much is said with the electricity of the eyes, the intensity of a whisper. Less is more.
