What helped me most were my failures and slumps - when I couldn't get work, people weren't interested in me or had written me off.

I just feel that no matter what comes in a career - and mine has been all over the map - you must stay at the table, pick up the cards you're dealt and play them.

The only thing you have then to believe in is your craft.

The last few years have been pretty hectic.

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.

We do most of what we do out of our sexual energy and our sexual needs.

I have a good friend who says, "We're all just dodging bullets." It seems to me the trick to living a good life is to try to move away from the gun you turn on yourself.
