I will carry on acting as long as I have breath and as long as I have energy and as long as I can remember my lines. Those are the basic things you need to be an actor. I'll never retire unless something happens to me and I can't do it well. If I can't do it well I don't want to see the public to see me wasting away in front of them.

You start acting in spite of your neuroses, not because of them.

And the test for any actor is whether you stay at the table or go away.

However, I don't by any means suggest that I'm always playing myself.

All of our health is basically genetics.

I now want to be playing parts more interesting to me and more exciting to me.

Theres a great deal of attention paid and books written about this change of life in a woman, and really very little written about a mans change of life.
